Details
It depends on the badge. On the GR86, yes: a brake distributor says it keeps the Gen1 spindle and brakes, and a brake vendor and a wheel guide both list the 2017-20 Performance Package Brembos as fitting it. On most 2022+ BRZs, no: the new aluminum front knuckle does not take Gen1 brake kits. One guide says the 2024+ BRZ tS uses iron knuckles; we did not confirm that. Check which knuckle your car has.
