so the new WRX kinda downgraded on the braking system i think. from four pistons to regular calipers. does anyone know if i can just swap out the fron and rear brakes off the 07 with the 08? has anyone tried? let me know interested.

 

Just sell your 08 keep the 07 and you will be better off.

 

dont think it will. I believe the 08 brakes are "same" as lgt..anyone correct me if Im wrong..I say just go buy some endless aha..

 

i think they should match up...

but possibly not

 

hmm dilemna. i just wrecked my 07 a while back so i dont even own a WRX anymore. but im thinking about getting the 08, but so many downgrades... smaller intercooler, brakes, and little minor things, but i dont mind hte exterior looks kinda nice, commercial even. so im debating on getting it, but i got a good deal for a 06 STI, so trying to figure out if i could tune the 08 the way i want to before buying. well if anyone knows PLEASE let me know. keep up the good works. -larry

 

If you can afford the STi then go for it.

 

haha, i wish. but cant.

Short answer:

The fronts will probably bolt up if you have the complete front assembly including rotors and calipers and caliper brackets, etc.

The rears will probably not. You will need to get creative or wait for someone to make an adapter.

hmmm does anyone know the sizes on the rotors? and what is the lug pattern on the 08 vs 07?

 

dont know the size of the rotor. should be 12 but not sure.

and lug pattern on the wrx would be the same 5x100.

the 08 brakes are from the legacy so is not really a down grade. is just doesnt have the full caliper look anymore.

for the price of a new 08 i think you can get your self a 06 sti right? 06 sti would be much better than 08 wrx.

 

Irish car bomb said it the best keep the 07.
