Has anyone heard of or tried to swap wrx or sti rotors and brakes onto a 08+ 2.5i NA? Is this possible or are there aftermarket options that are more affordable and practical? Thanks for any insight or advice you can offer!

 

It can be done. If you are referring to the brembo's that the Sti's come with than yes they can fit. I would first however upgrade your front rotor's to the larger wrx rotor by swapping out your oem caliper bracket to the wrx caliper bracket (in order to fit the larger rotor) and upgrade the pads first along with lines, fluid, and a master cylinder brace. I have done all the above with hp+ pads, motul rbf600, grimmspeed mastercylinder brace and it feels great!

If you still plan on getting brembo's: Get the wrx caliper bracket and the front brembo's should bolt right up and you'll obviously need the proper rotor's w/ 5x100 bolt pattern. The rear end is a little more complicated: You need an aftermarket caliper bracket (available from kartboy and a few others) in order to fit the rear caliper as well as the 5x100 rotors.

Hope this helps!

 

I wanna know why you want upgraded brakes.

Not really necessary unless you need them to compete with. Upgrade your rotors pads and lines with some nice fluids first. If you're still out braking them...... you might want a Miata.

 

Basically what these two said.
