awesome read. but it still seems to me that after many people have decided to do this, there is still no DIY?

Why? All the info is there, it's not much beyond a bolt-on mod. Anyone who complains that there's no DIY thread should just go out and create one.

Just purchased a set of 2012 calipers. Hopefully they fit under my STi BRZ wheels without the need for spacers (caliper size should be the same on the BRZ tS, just need to choose appropriately sized rotors)

King Tut · 06-10-2014, 12:22 PM

The rears are where you really need the dual drilled feature because the 2004 STI was 5x100 so you can use those front rotors. Any plans to make a dual drilled rear rotor for the 2008-2013 STI?

Here's my setup (pls excuse the crappy iPhone shot):

Here's my completed setup.... Thanks for the thread. I wasn't able to swap the bleeders (one stripped and I wasn't confident trying the others).

Bled the calipers by rotating them around the disc, then bolted them down.

Are those the ver 7 or ver 8? 04-07 models?

What rear bracket did you use ?

Fizz · 07-25-2014, 10:27 AM

I don't think there's a difference with ver7 and ver8. There's only pre-08 and post-08. And that only applies to rear caliper. Front caliper have been the same since day 1 except for colour change from 08 onwards.

There are a few brackets on market, but most common I'd say are KNS and FastWRX.

Ok thanks, I read that the fronts were bolt on but I was unsure on which rear bracket was used.

Read good things about Kns might go that route. Ill have to re read through this thread but I wonder if theres any difference in performance/weight(rotors, calipers, rear bracket if applicable) between the 2 sets.

The pre-08 ones are easier to find so still weighing my options out. Price wise they dont seem that far off, wonder if rotors and pads vary much.

JasperNoone · 07-25-2014, 12:24 PM

Pads are the same, rear calipers & rear rotors are different.
