Chris mcneeley Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Read the threads on the sti brake swap, grabbing a set of 08 sti calipers soon but instead of buying sti rears can I swap my stock calipers and rotors to the rear instead? Then it would be dual piston rears like the sti for cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 It wouldn't be a direct plug-and-play swap- I'm not sure what all is actually different dimensionally, but I know that the caliper bracket mounting bolts are different diameters front and rear, so you'd at least need caliper mounting brackets. The rotors wouldn't work, either, since the parking brake is actually a small drum brake inside the hat of the rear rotor. Definitely an interesting idea using the front brakes on the rear, but I'm guessing that when all is said and done, you'd end up spending more on the mounting solution than you'd spend on a set of rear Brembos.
