Easy, rears need an adaptor and either custom handbrake shoe or rotor.

Yu should have bought my setup... And my space saver spare as well!!

Kartboy rear dogbones plus DBA upgrade rotors to suit the smaller handbrake setup.

You will also have to change the rear section of the rear brakelines as standard brakes lines have a 90 degree fitting to the caliper whereas the Brembos are a straight fitting. Front brakelines are suitable.

You would only need to change the dust seals if cracked. If theyre fine the rest of the seals will be fine as these go first. For a Brembo piston seal and dust seal kit its approx $120. I put htis in mine as the dust seals were cracked. Piston seals were perfect, but it comes in a kit so changed them anyway.

I'll have a complete bolt on set up available soon. ;)

Add approx $600 on top of the price to have it working on your GT. ;)

Is that rough parts/labour cost?

What about Brembo's/rotors up front and the Wrx round pot calipers to fit on existing GT rotors? Think that's what I was thinking of doing later down the track instead of bothering with rear conversion

Ive allowed $250 for kartboy dogbones, $300 for standard DBA upgrade rotors and $50 to have some rear brakeline sections made up/modified. Theres no labour in that its just purchase price.

I'd allow more though. ;)

Even to fit WRX 2 pot rears you still need the Kartboy dogbones and im pretty sure still the rear brakeline issue also. The only saving is the rotors which i also dont think are the same as they have different part numbers.

Yeah the Brembo upgrade isn't really worth doing unless you get a cheap kit with all parts required in a package - like the kit that I just sold.

Parts alone cost me about $2800, plus about $300 in labour.

I can supply a complete bolt on package with everything new inc slotted DBA rotors not standard ones, with refinished gloss black calipers with white STi decals AND the rear brakeline section for $2600 with free fitting if your local. :)
