@Figo I see that you've got the DBA dual drilled rotors for your conversion. Do you mind giving me the part numbers for both front and rear rotors please?

Can you confirm if the caliper mounting bolts require washers? I've read somewhere that it does, but when I went to my local Subaru dealer to order those bolts, he said no washers required.

Also, what's the correct sequence for bleeding/flushing brakes on the FRS? Do you start with the caliper which is furthest away from MC first...as per normal? (i.e. RR, RL, FR, FL)?

Reason being, the Subaru WRX guys say it should be FR, RL, FL, RR instead. Anyone heard of this before?

Here's a little sneak peak of what's to come....

I don't remember the bolts having washers with them. I prefer to always get the fluid going to the rear first during a bleed/flush, so I always do the traditional furthest away.

By the way.....just wanted to make sure that 05 calipers are the same as 04 yes? Just the rotors are different....?

On the back the brake line connection is just like oem FR-S and BRZ. I got Stoptech FR-S/BRZ steal lines front and rear. You can also get STI brake lines they are a little bit shorter. For bleeders, I swapped the front and used OEM STI one.

Don't remember any washers with my STI Brembos.

Be careful with lines: Impreza lines mount to the strut in the opposite orientation from ours - we come from the top of the strut to the bottom whereas the Impreza comes from the bottom to the top. This will cause issues with kinking and I have first-hand confirmation of that from when I installed my AP BBK.

Go away Jimmy.

dabocx · 04-17-2014, 06:35 PM

I need more photos of these mounted!

Im not sure if ill get these before or after I get new wheels but I think they should fit even with my 17X8 +32 Work CR Kais

azian_advanced · 04-17-2014, 09:55 PM

I have 25mm spacers all around and hoping that my stock wheels will clear.
I've got all the pieces needed, just waiting on the last part: rear rotors - which are on back order for another month from TireRack
