Hey everyones, just got a set of 06 WRX rotors and callipers for my 02 B4. I know the front is a straight swap/bolt in, but what about the back? Do i need dogbones or are they only for brembo's?

there are 2 types of dogbones, 1 for brembo's and the other for subaru FHI rear 2 pot calipers which is what you have from the rex.


oh hang on , if the brakes came from a 06 sti they will be brembo's
if they're from a run of the mill rex they are the FHI type (fuji Heavy Industry)

Nah not sti's. Where do i get these dog bones? How do i tell the diffrence between brembo dog bones and wrx dog bones, if i were to buy them second hand?

Thanks

Also the front rotors / caliper will be a straight swap though?

Ask Shano (JDM RSK), he has the WRX calipers on the back of his B4 I'm pretty sure :)

But he doesn't have the WRX calipers on the front anymore ;)
