What's wrong with the standard setup? Maybe you're better of spending money on some better pads and rotors.

What's wrong with that Jim? I did. lol

To the OP, you'll need rotors, calipers, pads and all the other bits and peices not just the calipers. THe front will bolt straight up but I believe the rears will need dogbone adapters.

Maybe he wants them for cosmetic reasons. Mine with good pads and fluid pull up just fine.

Also remember they won't fit behind your small wheels...

You need the calipers, rotors, pads, brake lines, new wheels and tyres if you still have standard. Probably a new spare wheel to fit over the brembo's and tyre to suit the larger tyres.

Add that to installation cost if you dont DIY.

Good luck :roll:

Fake Brembo caliper covers are where it's at :P

As Jim said, just get rotors + pads + brake fluid upgrade. Throw on some fake calipers and you're set. Good braking and still get the bling (rotors are half the bling sometimes anyway....cross drilled and ventilated etc)

to answer the OP's question (rather than flame them for doing what many have been congratulated for), ebay, wrx.com.au, rexnet importmonster and wreckers in NZ are some used options that you can take. that style is a pretty new one for subaru though so you might have a long wait trying to find a set. Subaru might be willing to sell you a set at great expense.

another option might be to get a used gold set and repaint them black (you'll likely need to repaint a used set anyway). Sentinel in here repainted his grey for example

Putting caliper covers on is probably the worst thing to do, performance wise. It will trap the heat in the calipers.

Sounds like the OP wants both performance *and* bling.

That's what I did, and also put a seal kit thru them too.
