Swift's at it again - Wilwood 14" 6-Pot BBK for WRX - Fit to BRZ

[Racecomp Engineering]

The Subaru WRX 2 pot rear is a better fit bias wise than the brembos.

For whatever reason, I wasn't getting fluid out of the caliper. I disconnected the line and it was running up to the caliper. When I tried to reinstall it, I broke the fitting that goes over the line. I'm going to run up to Mach V and see if they have something I can improvise with.

08+ STI brembos bolt on perfectly front and rear. iv just spent the last 4 hours reading into all of this. you do however need new rotors.

2008-2012 STI DBA 4000 Series T3 Rotors
only thing you need to do is swtich the bleed knuckle.

For the 140-12875 kit for WRX, just double confirm that is it perfectly fits on the BRZ? Is there any minor adjustment needed during the install process?
BTW, what is your wheel parameter? J? ET?

THanks.

Let me start off by saying I'm just a guy in a driveway who has tinkered with sports cars for about 15 years. I'm not a mechanical expert but worked at a shop back in high school. I do just about all of my own work but I'm not a professional.

Everything with that kit bolted directly up. The fitment was fine, I was actually surprised how much space I had (although it doesn't look like it from outside the wheel on the ground). I need to get back under the car and verify everything looks good and no leaks. I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary and the brakes feel great!

My front wheels ESM 004's 18x8.0 +35.

I got my kit used but for the price tag, the new kit is a steal. I think I saw it on ebay for $1620 shipped.

It sounds great, compared with the official kit with 12.88' rotor , this 14' rotor looks great!
Thanks!
