The brakes will fit straight on , all you need are the thicker handbrake shoes we do , the fronts will not fit under the standard WRX wheels without spacers though

I thought the newage WRX had the same 190mm drum as the STI:?

I too am looking at this upgrade, so if I do need thicker shoes how much are they?:thumb:

No the WRX has a 170mm handbrake , and the STi is 190mm , the thicker handbrake shoes are £120 a set
Cheers Ian
