2002-2006 STI Brembo Conversion - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Counldn't find exactly the information i needed after searching, hopefully someone can shed some light for me. I have a BBK my friend wants to hand me, but it belongs on a STI 02-06. Would it be possible to transfer this to my FRS, without having to customized anything, like a plug and play.
Or could i just use the calipers and get new brake lines and brake fluid?
Thanks!

It comes with
CALIPERS
HUBS
ROTORS
KNUCKLES

Try this

Edit: Don't think the Hubs or Knuckles will work though.

Fronts will be a direct bolt-on, just need to swap the bleeder from bottom to top because our calipers are mounted frontwards instead of rearwards like the STI. Looks like your rotors are from an 04 STI so they will fit no problem as well.

I wouldn't bother with the rears to be honest.

My setup for reference:

Here is another good thread that helped me with my install. The design is pretty much all the same so this is equally applicable. From my own experience, swapping the bleeders is a BITCH if you have used calipers. You will almost certainly need to use a torch to heat and hopefully unscrew the bleeders. If you can't get em out then you'll have to rethread... and if thats the case... good luck...

Swapping bleeders is probably the most difficult. I had to get 1 helicoiled by a machine shop. You must use heat! I used a small A\O brazing torch and slowly brought it up to temperature. I rushed the first one and that was the only one i messed up. Use a nice fitting Allen key is important to prevent stripping the plug.

You will need the adapter for the rear calipers. I bought the KNS Version II.
You will need to trim the rear heat shield.
You will need new fasteners.
Depending on the exact year of this set, you may need new rotors if they are not 5x100.

Good luck. All information is on the posts linked above.
