Sorry to dig this up and first time poster! Will 2004 Outback H6 rear calipers work on a 2002 Wrx? I ordered a power stop H6 package that include calipers, brackets, disks and pads for the H6 upgrade.

Yes, all will bolt on directly, you will just need to trim the dust shield.

'05- WRX LGT Backer..
PSA (& correct me if there is a better option);
I could not find an OE backing plate part # which combines the dust shield size for the LGT rear rotor with a backing plate compatible with an '05- WRX (found this out the hard way when the new LGT backers arrived, yay!).. Seeing as I am doing wheel bearings anyway and I am now stubbornly committed to having "proper" backers with dust shields that fit my recently new LGT rear brake upgrade, I am now in the process of drilling spot welds and transferring dust shields between new sets of each.. Yes; I love the LGT upgrade, feel like it is perfect for this car ('05 Saabaru, BTW).. No, I did not want to take the next step to the 2/4 pots and just get '06-07 WRX backers (26704FE080/090), lol.. So, if there is anyone else curious/crazy that wants to go down this road these are the part #'s I have settled on; '05 WRX Backers: 26255AA061/071 '05 LGT Backers: 26704AE040/050 If anyone happens to want custom backing plates to run smaller WRX brakes on their LGT I have the spare bits to build the perfect set for you..! |

Love all this info in one place!
So, just to confirm I understand, ‘08+ STI Brembo rear calipers will not fit on ‘04 STI knuckles, right? It sounds like the fronts will bolt up just fine - is that true all they way through mode year ‘19 or ‘20? |

I have a 2009 2.5i that I accidentally bought 2009 wrx front rotors for. I noticed the brake pads were the same part number, so on a hunch I picked up front left and front right wrx caliper mounting brackets from Autozone, bolted them to the spindle, and then bolted the 2.5i caliper (top half) and they bolted up just fine and allowed me to use the larger rotors. Cliff notes: You can turn your front 2.5i brakes into wrx brakes by swapping wrx caliper mounts and rotors in.....pads are the same. |

This thread is saying that 08- STI rear calipers will not fit on a WRX.
But here is a thread where that is actually done by using 09 Sti calipers on 09 WRX. My question: is that caliper possible to be installed the same way on the previous generation WRX the one contemporary with the Sti gold calipers? I noticed he has used 04 sti rotors and he did not have an issue with the parking brake diameter. So for an earlier WRX I could use the DBA 2657 rotor. Would that work? |

08+ rear Brembo works on 08+ WRX. They will not work on any previous gen because the offset of the caliper is different on the rears. Fronts are interchangeable. Rears are not due to differences in offset. |

FYI. 2016 STI Brembos will fit behind 2017 WRX "Premium" 18" OE wheel with plenty of room to spare. There have been talks all over this forum about needing spacers. I could be missing something, but from what I could see today (test fit them), they're not even close to needing spacers. You could drive a semi-truck through the space between the caliper/wheel barrel and I'd say the space between the caliper and the spokes is almost a 3rd of a penny (ask Abe Lincoln).
[EDIT] All this time I didn't realize that these wheels were the same ones on the old '12-14 non-BBS STI's, so theoretically there shouldn't be an issue fitting Brembo's behind these if the specs haven't changed. Last edited by PilotKD; 04-17-2021 at 09:19 AM. |

Finally got these brakes in. Had some issues with a leak on the driver's side (front), but after replacing the inner O-ring, we're all good. Pretty happy with the results. All in all, I spent about $2.2k on a full Brembo setup, which included the calipers, a (10) bag of O-rings, powercoating/rebuild, replacing a few caliper pins/clips, Hawk HPS 5.0 pads, Goodridge SS lines, StopTech Cryo slotted rotors and almost 5 bottles of Motul 600 by the time I was done with the flush.

2016 wrx
Quote:
Brembo brakes were installed from a 2019+ STI on my 2016 WRX. My brake pedal is very mushy tho, i have to really step on it to engage the brakes. My mechanic bled the lines twice and we still have this issue. Does anyone know if i need to upgrade to the 2019+ master cylinder and brake booster because it is the new 6pot brakes and requires more fluid or does the bleeding need to be done professionally of the ABS and such. Thanks in advance for any help! |

2019 STI breaks on 03 WRX
Is there absolutely any way to mount the rear set of brembos from a 2019 STI on an 03?? I have the gold brembos at the moment no issues just want to upgrade again. I’ve read (correct me if I’m wrong) that I can fit the 6 pots on the from just bolting up as long as I get a large enough wheel to fit all that rotor. In this case do I just keep the 07 Sti rears on and swap to 6 pot fronts? Really looking for any possible way to do it. If not I guess I’ll accept defeat with the rears.. I can’t find threads on this anywhere that completely answered the question. Are there brackets etc. thanks!

Hi all , I have a question no one seems to have asked .
And yes I read all of this thread . ATM my rear brakes are the "H6" with shields removed . If I fit 04-07 STi complete hub assemblies onto the rear of an 06 Forrester XT will the ABS all work properly . I read that the rear STi ABS tone rings and possibly sensors are different to 06 FXT and I need to know if they send the correct signals to the ABS computer . If the sensor connectors are different STi to FXT can plugs be changed/spliced in . Thanks in advance and thanks for all the brake information . Cheers , Adrian in Australia . |

Found this .
https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho....php?t=1557808 It appears that when going from WRX or Forrester to complete 04-07 rear hub assemblies the ABS sensor plugs are different but splicing sensors works if done properly . |

What will be better than stock
Greetings from south africa.
I have a stock 2010 outback with a 2.0l diesel 6 speed manual, RH drive. I have oem 17" rims. I have upped the horsepower a bit. I regularly drive very steep and twisty mountain passes, and i want to improve the braking. Bigger engined outbacks and tribecas were never sold here, so i cant look at their brakes. I have 1 pot sliding calipers on all 4 wheels. E brake is electric with a drum/disk combination. What model WRX/STI or Forester will have rotors and calipers that will be considered to be an upgrade and will fit? I may even change the master cylinder if recommended and will bolt in. I will be sourcing calipers and carriers and such from scrapyards. Agents are not heplfull. |
