Who has done this??/
I want to know what I need.. as in parts list, I have searched here and Oznoobity and found three parts of f**k all.
I don't have all the parts here yet (they are being sent) so i cant just simply get under the car to check.
In all honesty I don't even know what it is I have got other then Hubs, Rotors and 2 pot calipers....... do I need anything else?
I know you can get dogbones to make them suite the rear end of the B4.. but I have NFI who sells them for one... and 2. if I can just use what I have I would be happier.
Now someone with all the info'z please help

All you'll need is the correct type of dogbone adapter. Everything else is the same.Who has done this??/

Yeah I know you can use the dogbone adapter, As in the one for the WRX 2 pots, but I was hoping to avoid this if possible and just use the hubs, backing plate etc if possible.
Just didnt really want to fork out another $200

The backing plate is spot welded on.
To replace the hub would be more costly IMHO.

Thing is I have the hubs for the 2 pots.... they come with the calipers and also the rotors too. that is why I was wondering if that would work or if I needed more
If all else fails I will go for the dogbones

Hmm Hokay..... Well I might way and see what arrives etc then make up my mind.... f**king expensive upgrade I tell you 
but having the 4 pots on the front looking good then looking to the rear and seeing the crappy standard single pots just ruins the look .

If you already have the hubs for free just change them over.

Cool, just wasnt sure if the Hubs were a direct bolt on to the Gen3 or not, I have never done anything like this LOL.

Just make sure to have a good look before changing them over that the struts will fit in the same position, as the Gen3 are different to the WRX's because of the multi link rear.

I have the stuff here looks as though not a lot of it will be useful to me except for the calipers.......
Hubs/Slotted and Vented Rotors/Housings/Backing Plates/Handbrake Cables/Goodridge Braided Brake lines etc I might be on-selling....
Anyone think they would be worth flogging off? What kind of Dorrars do they go for?

i just put my 2 pots on today using the dog bones, there is no need to drill off the stone guard. the only part to touch is so small it can be squashed with a pair of tweezers.
have a look if the actual backing plates are of use to you, they are pressed onto the hubs i think. otherwise yeah dogbones.
check out REXNET for prices on your leftovers

Thanks Cracka..., I had a play around this afternoon and sat the calipers where they should go and mine didnt really seem to foul on any part of the stone gaurd? perhaps luck LOL or mine is already bent . Turns out the slotted rotors do fit my car perfectly afterall
so I ended up with rotors and calipers out of this

Operation Rear Brake upgrade = Fail (for the moment)
Need a hydraulic press to press the hubs out to get to the doner backing plate 
and being Sunday no mech will be open to do it....
Fark wish my dads shop was about 400Km closer miss having every tool I need to do anything + hoists.

so close yet so far, i know the feeling. you'll get there just weigh up which will be cheaper ,trying to organize removal of backing plates or dogbones. surely you could try to sell on the hubs with plates.
