What's a brake bracket? If you mean the brake calipers I have a set of front stock ones.

EJ25RS, I have the same problem and I dont know if the 02 calipe brackets will work with our wheels. I have an 02 and my caliper still rubs against the rim. I think Rota test fitted the wheels on 03 wrx's but i am not too sure. I will try to see if 3mm spacers will work. I know which wheels you are tlaking about even though you never mentioned its name
My car is just sittng in my garage with the wheels on waiting for a solution.

The bracket is where the brake pads sit in...

Yeah i tested them on an 04 stock setup and cleared with just enough space, do you have a stock brake setup?

I have the stock brake setup for an 02. However, i heard that the bracket and the caliper may be needed but i am not too sure. let me know if it works out for you.

Is the 02 stock caliper the same from an 01 RS? If thats still the case then the only way to make it work is to upgrade to an 04 stock brake setup which sucks cause you'll never get to upgrade to a 4 pot setup...

Hey guys.

Yes, 03 WRX and up will fit fine. They worked on my 04 setup. Now, ROTA is saying they will clear Subaru 4 POTs, but we'll believe it when we test it ourselves when we get the chance.

Wagonrex, give EJ25RS dibs, he'll be PMing you.

I'm sorry that this hasn't worked out for both of you.

It's ok. I'll be getting some revs this weekend. They looked good while it "lasted"
