Default Anyone modified latest STI Brembo discs to fit earlier car

Latest STI discs have 5x114.3 PCD wheelstud holes but earlier cars have 5x100. Has anyone had discs off a new STI drilled/machined so they fit earlier cars? Have seen this suggested for other modified cars but can't seen anything on here.

the discs are identical apart from PCD..........so simply use the calipers with the correct disc fitment

I have discs off the new car, purchased with the callipers, and would rather not spend over £200 to buy some identical discs with just a different set of 5 holes. That's why I would like to know if anyone has had any redrilled.

David from API did some Brembo brakes from new car for me before few days with no problem.
By the way the second hand brakes he sent me are with almost zero kms, surprised as they need bedding in...

The AP racing discs for their 2005 spec kits come with two sets of stud holes, to suit old and new pcd. If it's good enough for AP......

That's what I thought but really helpful to have it confirmed, now just got to find someone locally to drill the new set of holes.

Yes, I got a hold of a set for front and rear that have done around 10 miles - taken off a new STI by a well known company to convert into rally car.

We get these too and simply remachine the holes in the right places. You end up with a ' lightweight ' disc with 10 holes instead of 5. No Sweat.

Jim, the discs and calipers get mixed up when they are sent out from you-know-who and there is nothing to suggest that the discs and calipers I send out are actually matched to each other, hence the need for rebedding.

Down to our ' last 10 sets now '

Good Luck all David APi Imprexa / APi Engines
