Can you put STI brakes on WRX?
For 2008+ WRX models, ANY front Brembo caliper (older gold color or newer black color) will bolt to the front of the car. You’ll need 5×100 drilled STI front rotors to fit. On the rear of the 2008-2014 WRX, the older gold rear Brembo caliper will NOT fit directly, but we have a bracket kit that will allow it to fit.
