Drew888 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hey guys just to be absolutely clear... I am about to purchase 08' STI brakes both front and rear. As I understand it, I'll toss out the front rotors for 04 STI bits and I'll need either Kartboy or Pauls rear caliper bracket. Do I need anything else for the rear? Do understand this right, am I missing anything? These 08 calipers are mint, black (look great under my QSM LGT), but have the STI logo on them. Thx!

FASTONE Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 From my research you will have to buy a custom rear rotors from DBA or other company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew888 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Ahhh man.... And thanks. Are the 07 to 08 rears different? Before this I was thinking of keeping an eye out for the brakes off the STI ltd. Come to think of it, for about the same 1500 I could go the StopTech route. Good pad selection, proven product, and I can ...black [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1586"VbGallery/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Why and where are they different? Why - ask Subaru. Mounting points are different. Rear 08+ STI suspension is vastly different and it looks like they felt they need new mounitng points for the brake caliper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew888 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Ok so it would take another rear mounting bracket to be fabbed up. Hmmmm. I think I'll go Stoptech (LGT specific) and paint the rears blk.
