Yes, you will need the brackets, rotors, pads, and backing plates. You reuse your existing calipers from the RS, they are the same.

The only thing you really need is the rotor and the caliper bracket. The only diff. is the rotor is a little bigger so you have to move the caliper out a little. The dust shield may have to be bent back a little too to make room for the larger rotor.

Look here:

You can do the same thing for the rear too if you want. The new legacys have larger rotors than the RS and WRX:

For both changes the RS pads are the same however if you are getting new rotors why not spend the extra money and get new pads.
