Brembo Gt's installed!!! (pictures)

What a buy. The guy who was selling these turned out to be a friend of mine so i picked them up for $650. stole these things. These came off a Saab 92x (same a the Wrx wagon) but bolted right up to the legacy (in-case anyone found some Wrx ones for sale). I broke my lens a few days ago from my Canon, so i apologize for the crappy iPhone shots.

Looks real sleek, and I'm sure you're enjoying them. From what I can tell it looks like those calipers are lower profile than the STi brembo calipers. What's the breakdown on that? Is it advantageous to have smaller pistons? Higher pressure?

No, those speed holes make the calipers look cooler. Also, the cheese-grater effect makes it stop faster.

But with all seriousness, black Brembo calipers with white Brembo logo looks badass
