Rear BBK anyone?

Where are you guys getting the calipers? I can't seem to find them at decent prices since I don't have a core!
I bought my calipers on eBay and the rotors from AutoparsWarehouse.com.
When they arrive, I will get the part numbers for the rotors. I believe they were specifically for a 2006 Impreza WRX STI with a PCD of 114.3. I had to call and confirm since it was not listed on the website.
Stay tuned.

ordered a hardware kit that comes with retainers and the pins since mine did not come with it on rockauto. Waiting for someone to post about the rotor. Is it just any 05+ sti rotor?
:thumbup:
that'd be great mate. keep us posted and put some pics up when you do the install :thumbup:Mo87NA;1769908 said:
any updates anyone? Im still looking as to what brake pads to buy and what rotors to buy. Not sure if to get a oem brembo rotor, a slotted one or a blank one. Any suggestions? I just want a noticeable difference in braking from oem rear setup to this "bbk".
No Sir. They should be arriving today.
I was able to get the part #'s off of the website. I wanted to get them up as quickly as possible just in case they were people waiting on them. Once they arrive, I will be taking them to my machine shop and having them opened up a bit. ~fingers crossed~

i found a set of oem brembos off an 05, are the oem brembo rotors better than a pair of power slotted ones? Im getting them for a steal.
according to Rockauto, the calipers are the same for 2003-2006, so Evo 8 or 9 calipers will work. Also, the rotors are the same part number for WRX STI 2005 and 2006, and the WRX STI LIMITED 2007.

I'd say get whatever is cheaper. You can never go wrong with Brembos. I opted for the Power Slot/Slotted rotors to match my Wilwood fronts. The Brembos are gold and do not mesh well with my current set up. Centric makes good rotors, but I believe Brembo may be a notch above.
It's crazy how we're all buying up these parts and no one has actually test fitted them and make sure they do really work and operate like brakes should. Seems like the OP fitted them on a soarer instead of a A70. I really hope these fit or ill be disappointed cause ive bought some also.
It was an A70 (which is the same as Z20 as IJ said). A braking system is actually simpler than you think. As long as it all bolts up and the rotor is spaced evenly between the in-board and out-board sides of the caliper (and runs true of course), it will work. All you need is hydraulic pressure and i'd bet that the supra caliper uses the same thread as on the brake line as the brembo caliper so you may not even need a customised brake line (OP can confirm this).
Yeah its that simple for the fronts, but the rears have the e-brake. I'll wait for MO87NA for updates on this project.
