HELP: BBK or "aftermarket caliper" fitment with 17x7 STI Wheels?
Does anyone know if there is a Big Brake Kit OR just a good aftermarket caliper (with my stock sized rotors) that is compatible with/ can clear the BRZ STI 17X7" OR the OEM 17x7 wheels on a 14' BRZ?
Long story short, I'd like to upgrade the brakes to a BBK but I don't want to switch out the STI wheels I have. I'd also rather not have to size up to the 18" as I'm happy with the wheel and suspension setup. My pads and rotors are already upgraded to street pads and slotted rotors by Stoptech. I would even entertain a caliper-only upgrade too. If anyone has been through this or have any recommendations, it would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance, friends! |

As op stated he has 17x7 STI wheels which were dealer option available in US iirc. TS (the OG from 13' or 14') came with 17x7,5 wheel which you can get from STI parts catalogue ad the later 18'+ TS came with 18x7,5 wheel. The only caliper upgrade which I can think of that should fit 17x7 STI wheel is WRX 4-pot. Can't speak how much of performance upgrade it really is but it should be easy to source and fit to his existing setup + it shouldn't disrupt current brake bias.

Thanks, that's certainly confusing. There seems to be a few versions with the same face style like you mentioned:

Our AP Racing by Essex Sprint Brake Kit should fit behind the STI wheels (Subaru OEM STI Wheels (2004) 17x7.5 +53). We have it listed in our confirmed fitments. Our system has been proven a thousand times from daily driving to endurance racing. It is inexpensive in the grand scheme of brake kits and brutally effective. Sprint Kit can be seen here: https://www.essexparts.com/essex-des...0299brzfrsgt86 There are many reviews of our system here on the forum and on our blog: https://www.essexparts.com/news-blog Here is the wheel fitment chart so you can double check your current wheels. You should always check your specific wheels prior to pulling the trigger on a brake kit, as we have seen some variance in wheel dimensions. https://www.essexparts.com/storage/w...l_template.pdf Here is our list of confirmed wheel fitments: Confirmed wheels that fit without a spacer: OEM Performance Pack Wheels
