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)

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 ;)
