WTB Brembo front brakes for 2004 WRX Wagon
I've got the rear Brembo's installed from my 6-speed conversion, but I need to upgrade the fronts to match with either the STi Brembo's or maybe Stoptech's. I'm running OZ Allegerita wheels in 17" x 7.5", so I'm hoping to clear larger front brakes without any trouble.

Stoptechs are the way to go for brake clearance - they clear a lot more wheels than Brembos do, though I'm not sure about those specific OZ's. I ran ST 328's under a large number of 7.5" wheels with no issues.
Jeff's offer is a steal for a clean set.

Agreed with previous statements. They are a step up from stock brembos. No fade, no noise, brakes hard! I would get on that deal! I bought mine same price and condition. Got new stoptech 328 2 piece rotors, Stoptech SS lines, and Stoptech pads. I love em

Also, what's the difference in performance between the slotted vs drilled? I see you have slotted on yours, but is there an advantage to drilled rotors?

Where did you get the new pads, rotors, & lines? Directly from Stoptech or from another vendor? I'm trying to figure out how much I'll end up spending on the misc parts to put this set back together & on my car vs just buying a new set (although I don't think it'll be $1300 for new rotors, pads, lines & putting the pistons & seals back into the calipers). But I'll have to repaint or powdercoat the hubs & possibly the calipers (don't know if he sand blasted just the hubs or the calipers, too).
Stoptech BBK 328 SS lines........................................75.00
Stoptech BBK 328/332/355 street performance pads....79.95
Stoptech BBK 328 slotted rotor left w/hardware...........250
Stoptech BBK 328 slotted rotor right w/hardware.........250
I bought my Stoptechs with the calipars and used 2 piece rotors(Aero rotors I think there called). So the rotor prices are for the slotted part only, not the hub part.
Give EQ a call to get a quote for labor.

I was going to get my calipars re painted but decided not to because didn't have the cash at the time. The paint wasn't bad but the logo was showing age, but,
