Are they interchangeable? Geometry the same?

Any thoughts as to why the difference?

Lmao, would you want to swap knuckles? The BBK I want doesnt fit the BRZ knuckles but does for the GR86

Someone in Japan did it (however not exactly).

Many of the AP kits have, or are, redesigning their mounting brackets to fit the 22+ BRZ aluminum knuckles.

I assume at some point Subaru would make version of BRZ with BBK.

IIRC, the 1st gen performance pack cars still didn't get 2-piece rotors. For instance, something like the AP Sprint kit you get a better caliper than the "Brembo" calipers and 2-piece rotors with aluminum hats.

And knocks just over 20lbs off the front of the car.

And if you're looking for a proper big brake kit you probably aren't worried about keeping the dampers and different wheels either.

Thanks, still learning the ropes, 20lb is huge weight saving.
