Hopefully the 05 will work. I'll go to the wreckers the next free weekend I have and have a look at what he's got and what will and won't fit.

So for the braided lines, would I be best to contact Subaru about them?

[Barbbachello]

Subaru will bend you over for them. STI brake lines are pretty expensive. HEL brake lines are good from what ive heard

[patttyfox]

Subaru bend you over for most things that are exclusive to them don't they?

[CRUISN]

HEL or Goodridge for the lines. HEL are a few more $$ for the same thing.

Speak to Dan at CarModsAustralia for your lines....

nothing* is exclusive to them, it's just the type of customer that goes to them for servicing or parts are the type not to know any better which enables them to charge so much. 

 

* for the most part

Cheers guys! Will definitely speak to Dan and see what he has in stock/what I'll need as far as lengths and things. Probably get the rear rotors through them too?

05 should fit also. The change happened from MY06 onwards. If you aren't sure the wreckers should be able to measure the PCD of the rotors he has in stock.

 

not true. MY05 STI is 5x114.3. Only use PRE 05 brembos/rotors. Rears different obv due to R180

Yeah I looked into the stud pattern and turns out like you said the 05 STI is 5x114.3 but the standard 05 WRX is still 5x100 I believe

WRX is 5x100 from 1993 - 2014 (new gen WRX is same as STi now 5x114.3)

[patttyfox]

SO just wondering, what are the largest rotors that I'll be able to run with the 04 sti calipers and KartBoy dogbone adapters for the rear?

[alexGT]

330mm/316mm (rear rotor needs to be 170mm handbrake version can get from DBA)

[patttyfox]

ah yep, thought that may be the case. So with the 330mm front rotors, there still a direct swap?

[Barbbachello]

as long as theyre 5x100 yep. Might have to do some "adjusting" of the dust shields as well

[patttyfox]

nothing a hammer and a grinder won't fix?

[Barbbachello]

yep.

[Robert]

Yep I just smashed out the rear heat shields on mine.

Broke all the spot welds off

[CRUISN]

Fronts are 326mm.

cant you just use the original lines. rubber lines in good condition will be just as effective unless you plan on racing, the expansion differences in the lines is negligible.
