Question RS to WRX front rotor upgrade, RS/WRX to H6 rear rotor upgrade

Hi, ok here's my question; this site http://www.subaruwrxparts.com/per-wrx-braking.html has some brake upgrades for the RS and WRX. Now since many of you already have WRX's I don't expect you'd know if the brackets they show for the front RS brake upgrade are off a stock ReX, on the other hand I know some of you have performed the H6 rear disc conversion and I wondered if you could tell me if those brackets were an OE Suby part or aftermarket.

Both are OE parts. The front upgrade is the bracket and rotor of a WRX, and the rears are Legacy H6 rotors and brackets.

Woo-Hoo!!! That's what I wanted to hear. You rock and roll all day long, sweet Susie (Kung Pow). Hey Ban Suvs one more question then. Will the pads from a WRX fit on a RS?

Check your local boneyards for the brackets, at least for the rear.
Any Legacy or OBS with 290mm x 10mm disc rears will do, and you may save yourself the $60 each for the rear brackets.
I got the front WRX calipers with pads(~1k miles on 'em), and brackets FS...I did the 4-pot fronts right after I bought the car. I did the rear H6 about a month ago, and it was a piece of cake. No Legacys in the boneyard near me for brackets, though

EDIT: Corrected mis-information.

you just go to the junk yard a pull of the brackets, do you need the hardware to or what, how about the front.

That's a good question. Since your keeping the same calipers I wouldn't think the pads would have to be changed, but I'm not sure either. According to the site (the one in my first post) selling this conversion you can keep the same pads.
