Threadlock the caliper bolts,coppergrease the 'pad position bars' or whatever they're called and if you want to keep the dust guards you'll need to source some larger ones ,or you can cut the old ones off (proper removal requires stub axle removal (or similar ) ,carefull with the ABS sensor ring though,other than that it should be a straight swap ,you'll need 16" subaru wheels though, minimum.The 4 pots are loads better ...enjoy.4 pots also allow use of rs4 (blues) pagid pads ,the dogs apparently

Not fitted them, but I would have thought they will use the std monting holes form the WRX.
The only issue is the wheels!! These are very big brakes and there are very few wheels that will clear the calipers

I got BK 17' AW at the moment. And iv asked the seller about whether they could be fitted. He said fit straight on and no worry. But after i saw u all's replies, i got a lot bit anxious. Hopefully they could be fitted by some genuis mechanics.
Thanks in advance
