STi 4pot/2pot Conversion Question?????
I'm planning on doing the 4-pot(Front) and 2-pot(Rear) conversion for my '03 WRX. Any feedback(negatve or positive) on this conversion at all? Is it all bolt on type of installation or do I have to do anything special to fit those brakes???
Thanks

The rear 2-pots cost(a good bit) more than the 4-pot fronts, and you have to disassemble the rear suspension to have the stock backing plates pressed off and the 2-pot ones pressed on....$$$
The 4-pot fronts are great because they are Subaru parts and have a reputation for being bullet proof. Pad choice is very good and rebuild kits can be had cheap(uses Nissan Z32 re-build kit).
4-pot downside....Can't use stock WRX 16" wheels.
I just did the H6 rear conversion which uses a 290x10 rotor and the stock calipers with brackets that allow the bigger rotors.

Are the brake hoses the same between the STi and the standard WRX? Will steel lines (Stoptech or Goodridge) for the regular WRX work for the STi Brembo 4-pots?
I am asking, because I am planning on this upgrade and want to order the correct lines.
