Bump, did anyone figure out what would need to be done with the brakes?

Thanks!

Yes and let us know how it all goes.

I'm looking at these....

I just purchased a PMU BBK for 5x100 however want to know if I buy this conversion, will my existing calliper/bracket fit?

I know I'll have to change the rotor/hats to 5x114.3 but want to know if I need specific 5x114.3 calliper and bracket to suit.

Cheers.

I highly doubt that PMU would ever make specific 5x114.3 calipers. Financially it wouldn't make sense for them to do it that way I would think. If anything, the brackets would be different. Seeing as how the STI Brembos bolt right up (save for the guys running '04-07 rears), again, I don't see why you should run into any problems. Best to try and give the vendor you bought the PMU kit a call so that they might be able to contact PMU directly and address your questions.

Cheers man.

If all I need to do is change the rotors I'll buy these for sure. The calliper and bracket cannot be exchanged so if it mounts up the same I'll be right otherwise I'm stuck with 5x100.

Will email PMU and HR on Monday. Cheers.

i dont think the rear rotors swap out with any STi being that theyre slightly larger for drum brakes in the rear. could be wrong tho. possibly sti rotors in front, redrilled rotors in rear?

Is any one running these HardRace or Megan Hubs?!?!

Rear ebrake shoes work with sti rotor on this car?

On my forester (5x100) I picked up a set of parking brake shoes with more material to make the sti rotor work

Just follow what the STI brake swap guys are running as a guideline. The GRB ('08+ STI) will bolt right up with the exception of trimming the dust shield. Since you're replacing the hubs, why not just remove the shield entirely?
