Default Problems with rear Brembo Brakes

Got a set of STi front and rear brakes (calipers as well as discs) and was told that the front ones would fit on with no problems, but the rear discs are bigger on the STi (where the housing for the rear handbrake is).

Has anyone had this problem as well or is there a simple solution?

Brakes are off a 03 STi and going on a 03 WRX

I believe the Caliper will fit straight onto the rear mountings of an 01> WRX and will be offset to suite the Sti 316mm disk. But you will need to sleeve the drum of the STi disk down to 170mm from 190mm.
The following link is for a classic, but should give you the idea.
