Would STI's brakes fit the MSP

Wondering since both WRX STI's and MSPs have the same bolt patterns, would the brakes and calipers fit on the MSP?
 
you mean those big brembos?? hmmm im no expert but not likely... the discs may fit but not the calipers.. it depends on where there bolted..
 
Different wheel hub bolt patterns so you'd have to have custom rotors fabbed.

Wait does the STi not have the same bolt pattern as every other subaru known to man?
 
The STi brakes will work on an SVX, I know that for certain. Past that, I dunno.
 
I almost bought a kit on ebay...I want to do a rear set up to compliment the front Rotoras. Same bolt pattern (05-up)...might just need to make custom brackets...which are not that hard to make.

e-brake won't work

True, but there are 4 discs BBKs for other cars which allows them to keep the e-brake. What will it take for us to keep ours? I'll be converting to 5 lug, so I'm just curious.

I know the ebrake wont work...internal drum on the STi, and using the brake caliper on ours...but that wouldnt deter me (evil)
 
fyi the rear sti brembos won't even fit my legacy GT.... and they are both Subarus with the same bolt pattern!

more work than its worth and it might not even work.

STI had a different bolt pattern in MY05 I think... 5x114 rather than 5x100
 
what is the advantage of going with sti brakes over a different big brake setup? specifically one that is designed to go on your car (so hydraulics and proportioning aren't an issue)? do you have a cheap source? if not i would think it wouldn't be worth it
