Sweet! Thanks Karlton.

Another question then...if I buy the Brembo Caliper, the bracket, and the rotors from a 04 STi, is it a direct swap into my 04wrx? or are there anything that I need to get/worry about?

Direct swap. No brackets needed, the caliper swaps onto the hub itself.

But I'll tell you, its not worth it for autox. Track driving definitely, bot not autox.

Yeah. My driving wasn't that hot this week. I think I took some of the turns a little too hot and that's where I paid for it.

Weird, it says that I DNF'ed my last run. I am sure that I was okay. Mauled like 3 cones, but yeah. That's okay... my best time counted anyways. Hehe.

Thanks for the clarification. Is it not worth it because both of them have similar stopping power?
