@.Kyle Sorry your note sounded a little confusing... Can we keep the stock 86 brake calipers using the parts that you have listed, or do we have to switch to the 4/2 pot calipers from other jdm vehicles (I.E. 06-07 wrx as you mentioned) for the parts you listed to work?

Edit: I think I understand a bit more now after doing a little more research about the calipers & rotors. The KNS rotors are similar to the stock 86/frs/brz rotors (and other cars) in dimensions (front: 294mm diameter, 24mm thickness rear: 290mm diameter, 18mm thickness, 190mm parking brake) but is drilled out to be 5x114.3 pattern which allows plug and play replacement for the new hubs. Please correct me if I am wrong.
