I don't think it'll bolt straight on. But I'm not 100% sure.

GC8 WRX STi didn't come with Brembro's as standard they had the 4-pot Subaru calipers.

Its hard to say if they will fit as they were not standard equipment on that car and may have some weird adapter of something. If they do however bolt straight into the GC8 then yes they will fit your car, but are likely to use the 295mm rotors which are smaller than your 3RB rotors and would be a downgrade. (EDIT: im just referring to the fronts)

Shane, I notice you wrote somewhere you had massive rotors on those 4pots. What rotors were they? Need you need an adaptor or something to make it work?

So if these are genuine Brembos, and they are on a WRX (even if it is a GC8) then they will fit my car? Should i ask the guy what size rotors they use or is there only one size? I dont wana downgrade lol.

That was the avo turbo world big brake upgrade kit. 330mm rotor. Yes it came with the adapters but you need the Wrx 4 pot calipers.

Id hope they'd clear brembos, 19" Kahn RS-Vs? They put em on Austin Martin DBS, which i image would have pretty big brakes, although they wear 20"s.

These are fronts correct?

I think you mean Aston martins. The wheels well I can't say if they will fit or not.

Sorry, phone auto corrected. Im 99% sure they fit my wheels. Can anyone confirm that they are fronts and can anyone tell by the pics if they are the ones that will fit my car? Sorry for all the noob questions...im very new to brakes :?

Subaru and a lot of other manufacturers have been using 4 pot calipers for fronts so yes, they could be used as fronts on yours. Will they fit? Don't know

You wheels? What offset are they? That is more important than the diameter (17's with appropriate offset will clear the standard Liberty brembo disc size). More relevant though and less easily obtained is the distance from the back of the spokes to the hub face on the wheel.

Im not 100% sure on offset as i bought them second hand. But the spokes arch out a heap, and my rims sit out of my guards a fair bit. Ill have a closer look tonight. Im 99% sure they'll fit. Problem is now im pretty sure the brembos are sold haha.
