Anyone in the forum done the swap on their WRX? I'm looking for info on what to measure to create the brackets to run these calipers on my car. The brackets look like this and would utilize LGT rotors.

there was a thread over on nasioc on these, why not just get lgt calipers though?

Just cause its a 4 pot doesnt make it better
Same goes to the 06-07 WRX 2 pots, LGT rears are better

def true but you can get a good set of 300zx calipers for stupid chap, they regularly trade on CL for about $150 a pair, you just want to make sure you get the early ones that were aluminum, the ones pictured above are the later steel calipers.

Also the NA ones were 26MM and the turbos were 30mm, how thick are the LGT rotors you're trying to run?

User fateo66 used to sell them on nasioc but I guess not anymore. That's what I'm looking for right now. LGT rotors are 30mm I believe

You want the steel calipers. The aluminum ones tend to strip the mounting threads when they are older and exposed to corrosion/heat.

I was thinking of picking up a set of reman'd calipers from autozone for like 70 each. I have yet to find anyone selling the brackets

didn't realize you could put on Z32 calipers on a WRX. I am selling this set off of my R32:

The 300ZX front calipers use the same CT460 brake pad as the subaru 4pots. Just a bigger caliper for the bigger rotors.

I'd consider it, but I'm trying to keep my unspring, rotating weight down. For me, subaru 4pots are the sweet spot (besides being designed for the chassis)

I'm really happy with the 06-07 WRX 4pot/2pot combo on the RS as well. It's a significant upgrade from the OEM RS brakes and only cost me ~$650 for the set plus new Hawk HPS pads for the fronts. I did have to throw down for the Kartboy brackets, but it's well worth it IMHO. The STi Brembos would be nice, but the cost kept me from pursuing that route.
