Thank you....so much

I ask because I've read a couple of "DIY" threads on IWSTI and in both cases they mentioned to re-use the stock banjo bolt from the caliper.

I'll be using Stoptech SS brake line (for FRS/BRZ).

I got the BRZ Goodridge G-Stop Braided Stainless Steel Brakeline Kit from Tire Rack, but it has been so long I don't remember if they came with new banjo bolts. If it did, then I am sure I used the new banjo bolts because I don't think my STI calipers came with the STI banjo bolts.

I was able to answer my own question about the banjo bolts. Nevermind.

Early bird gets the worm, gotta be diligent in frequently searching if you want to snag an actual deal.

Nasioc primarily im guessing, Then to a lesser extent some of the sub forums i.e. Subaruforester.org, whatever the legacy forum is, iwsti, etc.

Back a few years ago mine came from the forester forum.

Woah, i need to do this.

Also eBay and Rockauto.com.

For anyone interested, the short story of this is that fronts fit straight on, rears need a new bracket made.

My fabricator mate made this bracket for me. I've since had a couple of people PM me about it. He's going to get some more laser cut and will sell them of anyone wants them. Don't imagine they'll be that expensive.

It then makes this sti brake swap a complete bolt on affair.

Certain rears also bolt straight on without a bracket, I believe its the later 08+ MY. Has anyone found another suitable rear disc other than DBA or redrilling the STi disc?
