Hi all, I have exactly the same issue for rear now on 2024. If we could find brake discs with same ref but height 67.5 -> 63.5 it would work perfectly. 63.5mm is the height of rear discs from 2008 WRX Impreza, but if I take this disc, the handbrake part is not the same, so my black STi caliper doesn't fit (touching center of rotor). I can add a 5mm shim inside (between disc and hub) but it is a workaround, not a solution. Now my question is, what hell are rear calipers and hubs on the 2005 "tuned by STi", because if it is the hub same as Legacy OEM and the caliper is the same as 2 pots rear black STi, the brake disc will necessarily be a separate model. The one we are all looking for ! Another one question is, does it exist brake disc on aluminum hub for STi rear ? In this case, we could make custom aluminum hubs and purchase only the disc part !?

Hi, So mine is installed ! There are a lot of modifications that need to be made for it to fit properly. First of all, order a STI08+ Mishimoto (for example this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402040571697). Of course you'll need to replace the 38mm intake by 2 intakes of 28mm. http://meloman.ch/leg30/IMG-20211231-WA0003.jpg After that, an adaptation of the fans is necessary, not only at the top as on the pictures of Valadares, but also at the bottom so that the fans are as close as possible to the radiator and so that they do not touch the engine once all is in place. 1. The fan support should be fixed behind the mishimoto's thread, in order to gain a few millimeters. http://meloman.ch/leg30/fixation-1.jpg 2. You have to cut a part of the fans at the bottom so that it fits. This way the fans will be placed against the radiator, both at the top and at the bottom. http://meloman.ch/leg30/IMG_20220125_1035336_1.jpg Finally, you will need to cut the hoses 1.5 - 2.0 cm at the radiator side. Here are some photos and videos to help you see for yourself what work awaits you : http://meloman.ch/leg30 Especially this video which shows the entire finished work : http://meloman.ch/leg30/MOV_20220125_1135314.mp4 And this video shows all fits and not touching engine : http://meloman.ch/leg30/MOV_20220125_1147259.mp4 Hop it will help some of you. Have fun.

I'm just doing the same, thanks to @valadares for the idea. I'll post you pictures later.
