WRX Brembo Conversion
 
Hi,

so i have everything i need to do the conversion from standard WRX brakes to the STI brembo's...... or at least i think i do.

do i need the carrier brackets for an 04 blobeye or should the fit straight on?

Thanks in advance :notworthy

HI
As above they won't fit under WRX without spacers , and make sure you have the Gold Brembo's as the 2008 onwards rear calipers cannot be used on earlier cars.

If you have 2001 to 2004 discs and gold brembo calipers , the brakes will all bolt straight on , no need for brackets on the rear , the only mod you'll need to do is fit the thicker handbrake shoes as your originals won't work
If you have 2005 onwards discs , the wheel stud pattern is wrong for your car , so discs will need drilling on a 5 x 100mm stud pattern

Hope this helps
Cheers Ian

Hi guys, sorry wasn't clear ... i already have 18" ROTA GRA's so alloys shouldnt be an issue. and i have already purchased the thicker handbrake shoe from yourselves Ian!

Ok , should all fit on no problems , you will need the bolts for the brembo's as they have a different thread to the WRX calipers , and unbolt the dust guard on the front , and remove the rear ones by drilling out the spot welds
