i sourced out a wrx 02-04 brembo system. all corners.. i was wondering if it could fit the s13? just bolt pattern (id ont know what im talking about) wise.clearance issue is no problem, i can get bigger wheels, what not..can anyone shed some light?

thank you in advance..5lug swap can be done as well, if it need be..(the wrx sti was made in 5x114.3 and 5x100? iirc..)

well.. since the brakes are in 5 lug, you will either have to upgrade to a 5 lug set up, or re-drill the rotors.... after that, just find some rims that can clear the calipers... similar to the issue with the z32 brakes....

hmm i thought up to that part.. but i dont know how the calipers hold them selves up.. as im not familiar with the whole brake system..

would there be a need for custom brackets to make it hold the brembos..?

I'm not even sure about the lug pattern, but doesn't Subie use 5x100? So in that respect, no they wont work. On top of that, you would indeed need a custom relocation bracket which is something that would be very expensive to have milled (not something you want to **** around with cheap metal on, it's your BRAKES). You would need to do lots of measuring then draw it up in CAD and take it to a CNC mill. You also would need to find out what size fittings the brake lines use and possibly have custom lines made up and deal with the E-Brake in the rear.

In short, sell the Brembos and get some Z brakes.
