wrx brakes on a 05 RS?

hey guys, ive heard that you can get wrx brakes to fit on a 05 RS. true or not? let me know. Ive seen slotted rotors for a RS on ebay but their way too expensive. so if wrx stuff will bolt on let me know.

ravensblade-impreza.com when it is back up will offer great info on the conversion. i believe the rotors on the front will bolt right up but you need the caliper bracktes as well.

i think anything from 03 and up will work. the ones i used were from a 05 forester.

I'd save my money for a better brake conversion to be honest. Once you do the WRX conversion you'll wish you had Brembos or better.

yea, i would agree with the guy above. the only reasion i upgraded is that somebody gave me new (less then 500miles) forester rotors/calipers. its really not that big of a brake upgrade.

....wrx fronts and the 'H6' rears and SS lines and good pads/fluid and a MC brace(
Cusco makes one for ~$100) and done.

BBK on a street car is a 100% waste when the above will make such a big difference for cheap, too.
