i've heard that the rear brakes on a wrx are not a direct bolt on for the brembo sti brakes. the front is a direct replacement but the rear, is not. does anyone know an if its true what parts are need to do the conversion. thanks

 

The rear STi brembo brake kit will NOT fit Impreza WRX. You will need to convert your rear R160 ends to STi R180. The cheapest route will be going to www.godspeedinc.com or www.twrracing.com and purchase the adaptor kit/ brembo conversion rotor kit. Godspeed's kit comes with sleeves and brackets $600 shipped. TWR's kit comes with new rotors and brakets $600 but the last time I emailed them they want $780 shipped because someone oversea makes it and shipping is $180. The best route to go if you really want the brembo brake in the rear, get it from TWR, yes it cost more but you get new rotors. Godspeed you have to insert the sleeves in the oem brembo rotors and if you need to replace the rotors and get the sleeves out, you will have to cut the rotors apart to reuse the sleeves.
