The gold brembo ones off the new age STi's?

If so then pretty sure they won't fit. They definetly won't go on a new age WRX with 17" wheels, you need to use the STi's wheels as well since the calipers are much further out from the hub than normal. So if they won't fit with 17" wheels then very unlikely they'd go on with 16".

The 4 pots bolt straight on and the 294mm discs are the standard size for the calliper.

The 16" rim may give you a problem. The ones on my MY98 WRX were the smooth surface type and did not fit, but the other UK 16" rims seem to fit.

These are the ones that dont (the gold one off the car).

With the sort of spoke that has the indentation in the middile as it meets the rim?

Thumbs up

Pipework will fit straight on, but you will need to remove the dust cover not easy unless you destroy it in the process (carefull not to damage the abs pickup ring),

there is a backing plate behind the original disc, obviously much smaller than the new discs - needs to be either removed or re-formed to clear the bigger disc.......
