sti brembos on a wrx
 
Hi all i hope some one in the know can give me an answer, just bought a set of brembos to put on my 2003 blobeye wrx, i v read that the fronts fit up no problem, but the rears need a little modification for the handbrake, i have the option to buy the rear hub, what im asking is will the sti rear hubs fit straight up to my wrx or do i have to start going crazy changing shaft etc ?. i really hope some one can help.

HI
No the hubs from the STi will not fit your set up , the way you can fit them is either with the thicker handbrake shoes we do , or the rear discs with the steel insert we also do , the rear brakes will fit straight on then
Cheers Ian

And, of course, you need STi wheels or similar for the fronts to fit.

Ian's solution is by far the easiest and most cost effective, changing hubs can be a real ball ache in terms of compatibility etc.
