Details
Fits with STI parts, per a retailer's install thread: the black 2008+ STI rear Brembo bolts on with a 2008+ STI rear rotor and STI rear brake lines. The 2016 manual also lists a WRX rear brake with an electric parking brake caliper; the same retailer says its 6-piston kit's rears cannot fit EPB cars, and no source covers these rears on an EPB WRX, so check for a handbrake lever first.
Specs
- rotor mm: 316 x 20 ventilated
