Oh snaps, looks good!

 

Congratz man! I saw these on craigslist and had to share the find with fellow members. I myself don't have the funds for those but I would rather have seen it go to an I-club member. CONGRATZ TO YOU MAN!

 

Can you move your old fronts to the back now? Or is that a no no? Pardon my ignorance!

 

Nope, but I wish life worked like that.

 

Please explain! Does it throw off the brake balance? Do they just not fit? I'm stupid.

 

weight saving's brah!

 

Well bias is variant upon brakes. I know stoptech calipers work out the bias, but with kits like Brembo on my car, I have to replace the Brake Master Cylinder to the 08 STi one so it corrects the bias. The rears don't match up with the fronts and in cases like my car I have to go get another bracket from AVO to make a rear bbk fit on my car since my car is different from all other years. I am not brake expert but this is what I have read for my car.
Also on another note, I can't justify having cross drilled rotors these days other than looks.

 

Well actually it saves a little unsprung weight so you're kind of right. But mainly it was to expel the gas build up from the pads and rotors back in the day. Also to provide more bite. Drilled discs reduce the thermal capacity of the rotor decreasing life leaving it prone to cracking. "
