1. The JDM BRZ STI uses the SAME Brembos as the 08+ Impreza STI with the bleeders swapped there are no brake bias issues, no fitment issues every thing is copacetic.
2. This is a super easy swap (~4hr drinking beers, eating pizza)
3. This is a super cheap swap (I got EVERYTHING for <$1,300)
4. IF you can't find 08+ rears, the KNS V 2.0 bracket is MINT!

SWAP THE BLEEDERS! a little heat and the come right out.
USE any STI front rotors as long as they are drilled 5x100
USE any STI front calipers
USE 04-07 STI rear calipers with KNS bracket ($250)
USE 08+ rear STI calipers for direct fit
USE 08+ rear STI rotors Drilled to 5x100 (to be compatible with e-brake)

The Dust shields have to be slightly trimmed to fit your new (larger) rotors.

You can get everything except the calipers from KNS Brakes and they guys over there are very familiar with the mod. CALL them if you don't know what you need. They will also make sure your rears rotors are drilled to the right pattern.
