Default Brembos from an evo fit a classic??

Hi Guys

Need a bit of advice really, I have a set of front red brembos from an evo 7/8
I am just wondering if these would fit a classic 1995 wrx sti, I know I will require some bigger discs but just need some help with the calipers initially.

I feel these are to good to waste and as I already have them sitting pretty in my garage I would prefer to use them rather then buying some subaru 4 pots etc.

Any help/advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated!!


Kind Regards

Abs

Off the top of my head they don't fit or lots of others would of already done it

The distance between holes is different and i'm sure the disc for an evo have different thickness to that of the the subaru gold brembo's creating problem with off sets/ Wheel alignment etc

Yes mate, looks I will have to sell them on ebay. As for the gold sti's brembos I would love to have them but due to the cost of these I may have to opt for the subaru four pots, more in my budget!!!

Brembo calipers for an Evo have a different pitch between the mounting holes when compared to Impreza derived Brembo calipers.
