Default Fitting Brembos ... HELP Please

Have got hold of a set of newage ('04) STI Brembos (fronts only).

Thinking about trying to fit these to my '97 WRX tomorrow and just wanted to first of all see if anyone could point me in a rough how to guide.

Secondly, my WRX has 18" wheels so space isn't going to be an issue... are the calipers, discs and pads going to be bolt on or an I going to need anything else off a newage Impreza

You will need the newage caliper bolts if you don't already have them. When I fitted mine I had to purchase some from the local dealer at £5 per bolt (4 Required). Other than that its a straight forward swap.

Do check the wheels fit for clearance though, its not just the diameter of the wheel its the offset, wheel spacer may also be required.

Good Luck

The stud pattern changed in 2005 , so 2004 discs will fit straight on , init !

do you mean the PFF7 copy type??, if so then from memory the offset is around ET45 although this doesnt guarantee fit
the most important part is the spoke design/clearance but these go on no trouble.........
