STI guru's I have some questions on 08+ brembos - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Okay I purchased complete 4 wheels set 08+ Sti brembos for a great deal. And the plan is to run them on the R33. People run the evo8/9 STI GD/GG brembos on nissans with the use of caliper adapter brackets. What I can't seem to find is if the front calipers of a new STI bolt on to the old STI. Because if they do I can use the off the shelf bracket. I have been searching and most of my finds are fitting brembos on to wrx models.

So any subaru gurus or shop guys, do you know if the 2011 model STI front brembos bolt on to the old gen STI?

From what I read from when I was gonna switch cause wanted the black ones the fronts are a direct swap just the rears are different on the newer ones.

Okay thats good, and thats what I was thinking. I had a feeling the rears were different. Where the 07 models and earlier are a direct bolt on to the Nissan upright the one I have will also need an adapter bracket. I got the black ones that say STI on them from a 2011 model. I may not use the rears tho I may just keep the rear 2 pot R33/Z32 rears
