I got myself some gold damplings!
Lol

Front fits right in!
But having problems with the rear!

Will keep you all posted!

Here is a close up!

With apm racing rotor.

Huh, they clear the factory wheels. That’s cool.

Wish that was the case with the older style wheels.

 

[lcrazyaznl]

So which model are these off of?

 

[sway162]

Yes, please tell us which model.

Looks great man.

 

[M32Forester]

okay, sorry if I mislead, stock rims don't clear...so i have 23mm widetread spacer to clear it.

these calipers are from GRB impreza STI spec C(in Japan).

but regular, GRB impreza sti brembo should fit.

also, GDB impreza STI brembos should fit too.

Front does not need any fabrication if you are using multi-pcd rotors.
rear, well you need fabrication.

 

[zippo09]

is there already a specific big brake kit for 14' forester?

should front and rear be changed?

 

[rostikk]

Put on a good pair of rotors, and some sporty pads. I always get Project Mu HC+ pads. They stop like hell and never fade. You can get the size for STI RGB Brembo calipers. My tuner actually bumped his face against the steering wheel and got himself a bruise because pushed the brakes too fast....

I wouldn't be surprised if the KNS adapter that fits in SH models would fit in the new SJ.

M32,
you're running a 23mm spacer between the hub & rim so the brake calipers will clear the wheels spokes? will this adversely affect your steering and bump response as well as bearing life?

thanks

Yeah it sounds like you will need at least 23mm to clear OEM wheel. Spacers will not affect your steering and bump response....I never had those issues on prior cars. It does ultimately stress out your wheel bearings causing pre-mature wear but who knows how long it takes before bearings wear. I ran 30mm spacers before on previous car for 30k miles then down to 20mm spacers for another 20k miles with no issues. So its hard to say how the 14 xt bearings will hold. Track cars run spacers all the time up to 50mm for long periods at a time while pushing the car to its limit. As long as you properly install and torque the spacers to spec there shouldn't be problems and of course get spacers that are well known and made, like project kics, H&R, ect.

I have confirmed that the front brake can be upgraded by Forester SH's big brake kit. The same way as SH forester. But the rear is not compatible.
