Do you have a link to this mythical Brembo setup that MRT is selling. As I just can't see it happening for AUD 2,500. Maybe, just maybe the front only kit.
If they do in fact have this for 2.5K for a front a rear Brembo conversion I will be there immediately. But I just don't see it coming in at that price.

1. No way will you get a *BRAND NEW* (or even used set) of front and rear Brembo setup for 2.5K. I have been looking all over.
Here's an example of the *USED* setup.
Calipers front and rear $1200
Front and Rear Rotors $800
Pads front and $500
Braided lines front and rear $200
Dogbone for rear $250
DOT 6 fluid $50
2 hours labour (in case you're getting a w/s to fit) $150
$3150.
Now that's a pretty good price. Can't see MRT doing front and rear for 2.5K let alone 4K otherwise I wouldn't be bothering sourcing parts piece meal to upgrade mine (still need the rear dogbones)
1. STI wheels (other then MY02-MY04 17 7.5) *WILL NOT* fit. They 5x114.3 unless you go for a hub conversion or use a spacer with a PCD adaptor. I have 8 spare MY06 STi 17x8 wheels here ready for when a cheap 114.3 hub conversion becomes available. 4 for street and 4 for track.
The exception to the above maybe the STi wheels that shipped with Brembo equipped STi Liberty's (I think from MY06-MY07???). They had clearance for brembo's and were 5x100.

Yes they will. Either via a dog bone or using an 08+ rear calliper (this I haven't confirmed but it was mentioned by another user on another forum)
