Full Front and Rear 08-12 STI Brakes Swap - Page 19 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Only pre-08 rear calipers require the brackets...so you need to take that extra cost into consideration as well. Also, some brackets may require you to grind the hub carrier a tiny bit. For hassle free install the post-08 caliper are straight bolt on jobs.

Function wise the rear calipers perform the same between both as they have same piston size.

Incorrect. Rear rotors are the same regardless of whether you choose pre or post 08 calipers.

I think he meant that the 04-07s STIs use a different rotor than the 08-13 STIs. You HAVE to use the 08-13 STI rear rotor regardless of what year caliper you purchase.

Rear bolt pattern of USDM STI stayed the same, but the rotor hat offset (and obviously the caliper too) DID change to accommodate the new rear geometry.

How do you know so much with being a relative n00b to this site? You must be a long time NASIOC poster or something. @ftc~brz

ya. those gold sti caliper r the same for v7 to v9 sti. only diff r v9 hv a PCD114.3. Fornt caliper is PnP w/ the caliper & standard size of STI rotor.

Rear is abit tricky. U need a bracket to mount this gold caliper. I got it made from local machine shop. then the pc metal behind of the rotor u to cut abit so it will not touch the STI rotor later u will put in. Also if u put in the sti rotor for the rear u need to drill a small whole on the rotor hub for u to adjust the handbrake later. see ur stock 86/brz rotor....

Or you could just get the DBA rear rotor part number 42656-10 which already comes dual drilled plus e-brake service hole.

If you get the DBA front rotor part number 4654-10 it would also be dual drilled so you won't need to worry which version rotors to look out for.

Planning on doing the 08-12 Brembo calipers front and rear over the winter. Had a question about hubs though. I'll be converting to 5x114 at the same time and would rather use all Subaru parts if I could. Do STI hubs also swap right over, front and rear? Thanks.

I would think that just like the brakes that any STI front hub and the 08-12 STI rear hubs should swap over.

Just look for rotors that will fit on any Brembo equipped Subaru vehicles.

This might help too: http://www.project-mu.co.jp/matching...R_matching.pdf

Not any brembos actually. Most of the brembo equipped Subarus are 5x114 (except the 2004 STi) so if you just bought rotors for a brembo equipped car they won't bolt onto your hubs.
