Yes brakes from all the model Impreza's will fit , as long as you have wheels large enough , the discs on the 2005 Sti has a different stud pattern to yours , not the end of the world as these can be drilled with another set of holes to suit yours

Does this mean that I can take the calipers off my m8's 2011 WRX and fit them to my 1996 WRX?

Please say yes, he's getting a full brembo upgrade and seeing as how I'm fitting them, and the goodridge hoses, he's going to give me the old brakes as payment.

I was going to have them powdercoated then sell them, however now i have a scooby of my own.

I may be removing my single pot rear calipers, discs and EBC Bluestuff pads in the near future if you want to go that way..

you can fit any brake parts up to 2005 models then they switch to a different stud pattern I put subaru 4 pots on my sport on the forum mentioned above and plenty of pics too

and a rear disc conversion is a good idea and one ill be doing in the summer

The stud patern changed but did the carrier change and the mounting points for the calipers?
