How to put Rear Brembos on your GD WRX (2002 - 2007) or Forester XT (2004 - 2008)

If you have a WRX and you want to up-grade your brakes, the fronts are easy to do, that there are many options. One of the popular ones is to get the Brembo calipers off of an STI, which are a very nice up-grade for the WRX.

But if you are up-grading the front calipers, and putting on a much larger rotor than stock, you will also want to look at your rear brake system as well. This is especially true if you are tracking the car and using aggressive brake pad compounds, etc.

There are much fewer options for rear Brake Kits for the WRX, and in large part this is because of the added complexity of the parking brake in the rear.

But through the years, various companies, including Brembo themselves, have made rear conversion kits to put the same Brembo calipers as the STI onto the back of the WRX. This is done with adapter brackets, and special conversion rotors.

If you are piecing a kit together yourself though, there is still a lot of confusion involved in getting the correct parts to get everything to work properly, so we wanted to go through the process for you in the hopes of making that more clear.

In addition to that, KNS Brakes has come out with another solution for the rear parking brakes when doing this conversion that may be appealing to you as well. So we wanted to feature that new solution too.

Thanks for watching!
