Swapping the calipers side to side was if you wanted to keep the bleeders in their original location and then the pistons are in the wrong orientation. If you swap the bleeders then you keep the calipers on the same side as the STI, then you are good to go with the pistons in the proper orientation. If you look at a picture of an STI and my car you will notice they are oriented the correct way.
