I feel like these (not this pair in particular, just some 4 pots) are a nice, inexpensive alternative to doing maybe fronts only? Especially if they clear the 17s, or with a small spacer clear. Rear brakes from what little I know don't do hardly anything anyhow, and are apparently rather adequate on our vehicles, so why not just do a mild upgrade to the front? I'll be honest, I am pretty crazy about the aesthetic value of some big reds. Yes, I know there's a subie emblem, but I've seen them shave before, in fact there's a pair painted black with shaved emblems on ebay right now. I just need advice on the quality of these brakes, and would it really be an upgrade? I mean for the price some sell at, seems like a sweet deal. I know a bunch of WRX guys go to STi or larger brakes and sell theirs so are also a bit more available.

The rears won't work. The fronts should work, but you have to reverse the bleeders since the BRZ has the mountings on the front side of the rotor as opposed to the rear.

Theoretically the rotors should be the same size, so you aren't gaining a whole lot in terms of surface area, but you will get better pedal feel and a wide array of pads available for the 06-07 WRX front calipers. (same as 300zx)
