STI calipers

Hi, Will STI calipers fit onto WRX struts or are they different mounting points ?

Pretty sure they are the same, as people have also fitted them to classics, BUT, make sure you'r wheels will clear them BEFORE you buy them if poss....

I have new age Brembo's fitted and the calipers themselves are significantly light than the OE 4 pots they replaced, the disc's are heavier but they are some 30mm bigger and 4mm thicker, one way around this would be to buy a set of 2 piece disc with alloy bells and save some weight that way.
