Ok. So my note is a little funky. To attempt to clarify; the 4/2 wrx brakes use the same size rotors as a stock 86. So, you can hang that 4 piston/2 piston caliper without changing front or rear rotors. In the rear you would need a KNS v2 bracket to fit the 2 piston caliper. I had this same setup on the grey car (car on the left in first pic) before going to brembos. When I went to brembos I put my FHI calipers in an RSTi and then my brackets and another set of calipers onto Senpai here. Stock rotors were always used.

USING THE PARTS LIST I HAVE HERE YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY BE ABLE TO GO TO 5x114 WITH STOCK CALIPERS.

Sorry for the caps lock. Not yelling. Just making it stand out.

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.
