HI
Yes any of the front STi brembo's with fit on your car with the discs off the same , 2005 onwards discs will need to be redrilled to suit your wheel stud pattern of 5 x 100 as the later STi's changed to 5 x 114mm.

You will need at least 17" wheels , but the spokes will need enough offset to clear the calipers as the discs dont have much offset on them.
A lot of wheels dont clear them as the spokes catch the front of the calipers.

scoobian

the good news is the spokes only catch the calipers for a little while.......

rear brembos use a lager disc so you need to get the modified hand brake shoes which godspeed do and a braket to mount the caliper higher up think you can buy the hand brake shoes and mounting plate as a kit hope this helps dave

The STi rear brembo's will fit on with this kit I make

Classic Impreza 2 Pot & Brembo Rear Fitting Kits with Handbrake Modification

The rears dont have the clearance issue's the front do

Fitting a rear STi kit on my 01WRX at the moment, fiddly to fit but will be worth it. Got my shoes from Ian as above, good service and quick delivery!

thanks guys

might have to sort out something else that has cropped up in the past week is a rattle from the rear, like something loose in the boot when on an uneven road surface

wondering would it be any of the following i had a AUTECO Vehicle Inspection check before i bought my scooby and here are two of the issues he outlined

1.)Suspension bushes show varying degrees of deterioration consistent with the vehicles age,
2.)Suspension arms, springs and roll bars are all heavily corroded,

would these cause my problem???

any help welcome

Check your jack first - often the cause.

well it aint the jack..

the more i read up on Subaru Sti's the less i seem to know.. like a bottomless pit u fall in and u just keep falling and falling and theres no bottom..

there should be an University Degree Course on Subaru Sti's...say it would have a high drop out rate and tough modules i.e. Modules on Suspensions, Braking, Engines, Transmissions, Turbos etc.. Maintainence and Praticals attached to each..

well it friday and im gona have loads of

Have a close look at your rear roll bar droplinks, wear or loose bolts will make a lot of noise.
