Fitting rear Brembos to an 04 WRX
Looking at fitting rear brembos to an 04 Blob WRX and wondered what parts are needed?
The car has been sitting up for 9 or 10 months and I was going to do pads and refurb the calipers anyway so thought I'd upgrade the rears while doing the fronts!, I'm going with Godspeed rear discs so dont have to change the shoes but do I need brackets, fixing bolts or just the calipers?
cheers

They actually go straight on. But the handbrake won't work properly. You can either get a shoe adaptor type thing, or inserts for the drum. Both from Godspeed.
From experience, do NOT go with the shoe adaptors, they don't work very well, even though it's the cheaper option, it's just not worth it.
I'm going to be doing the same soon on my WRX.
