they bolt on fine, but you need thicker handbrake shoes as the dia is larger. About £100 for the pair I think, can pick them up on ebay or godspeed do them. It is a conversion I need to do when I find some calipers at a good price, They will then match my fronts

Are the hubs the same so it's just the hand brakes shoes I need to replace ?

So if I was to buy sti 8 Hand brake shoes they should bolt straight on mate ?

Hi
The diff , drive shafts and hubs are all larger on the STi compared to the WRX, so the handbrake shoes from the sti will not fit a wrx , I can supply you thicker handbrake shoes that make it all fit , these are £125 a set plus P&P.
Cheers Ian
