Would the coilovers swap over like the brakes?

No, and the STI is a very different car so you wouldn't want to run coilovers setup for it anyways.

I sold my 08 STI with a blown motor for my BRZ. Looks like I should have kept the brakes. 20/20 hind sight right.
I wonder how the STI rears would match up with my StopTech 328mm kit. I would like to stay on 17's.

Can't find the other thread discussing this, but can anyone confirm if the STI 2004- front brake package will clear the OE 17" wheels on our cars?

I have the ability to pick up some 34 gtr front brembos(no need to swap bleeders)... Just concerned with finding some 324x32mm rotors in 5x100 that will be up for the task.

The rotor will clear the wheel, but not the stock caliper. You need the STi Brembos, or an equivalent caliper. AP Racing just came out with a caliper kit that's designed to fit under our stock wheels.

If you have time to wait, I can check this in a weekend or two. I have Brembos in the garage and doing an AP Racing BBK, so once I pull the stock caliper off I can check if the STI Brembo caliper clears the wheel.

The STi brake set up will not clear our wheels. The caliper is too big. Again, there are 1 or 2 kits available at this point that will clear our stock wheels. However you're looking at a few grand for just the front kit

I mean, I'm betting this is the case. Those Brembo calipers are the fat girl of brakes LOL. Doesn't hurt to verify when I already have the old calipers off though, does it?
