Two reasons really. I wanted to get the money I had invested in the Cayman R out so I could focus more on racing my SpecE30 and the second reason was I knew I could have nearly as much fun driving the BRZ as I had driving the Cayman R for less than half the price.

The rear rotors need to be dual-drilled STI rotors.

Interesting... Then I believe that means then that to do the Subaru 4pot/2pot brakes, Group N rotors will be needed in the rear. Very cool.

2010+ LGT rotors. The depth of the rotor hat is different between the newer cars and the GC/GD. Caliper mounting is different as well but I think someone makes a bracket.

It's either Tom@Kartboy or KNS that makes that, I remember reading about it a few years back.

Ty man. Have the wheels but still havn't pulled the trigger on the sti Brembos.

Found a local set but I'm worried after I pick them up, finding out they won't fit on the wheels I just bought. =(

This is how much room I have over stock caliper with prodrives

and this is the stock wheel for reference

Didn't even think to check Mach V.

I wish I knew a place that could swap the bleeders for me. After stripping one screw I'm just completely discouraged and utterly depressed at this point.

I know a place. Not worth it to ship all the way out to the East Coast though. I'm sure there's someone in CA.
