Does anyone with an STI Limited or an '08 or '09 STI have a thing for the gold brembos? The only thing on my car's exterior that is not black is the calipers. I know this is a longshot, but I thought it was worth a try.
Well, if you haven't installed any SS lines yet, go right ahead and while installing them, have them Powder coated. Just a thought, seeing that not many have the 08sti.
He actually has some older subaru ones. Does anyone know if the 300zx ones can easily fit on the wrx?
I don't know how different the bracket is, but you're more than welcome to take a look at mine on my car. I know the pad fitment is exact between the ZX and my WRX.
hmmmm this is tempting. and thanks for the offer, but subynate is closer (5 mins compared to 3 hours. lol)
the pads on my car right now are labeled 300 ZX. I couldnt find any WRX ones in town at the time, they fit fine. theyre the same brakes with different mounting points.
I was just in the same position as you. I had my car all black except the calipers were gold. I got black and clear caliper high heat paint. I got Brembo stickers off ebay. I just took the wheels off, taped where I didn't want paint to go (rotor). Then I painted them black, let it dry, stuck my new Brembo stickers on, then clear coated it. They look sick. When I get pics I'll post them if you're interested? It might be a couple days though
I may go this route, I was inspired by this link VVV, but I am a bit lazy http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1262317
the 08 brembo rear calipers have a different mounting pattern so you know... they do NOT use the 4.5" mounting pattern of the 04-07 gold's and the 06-07 2 pot rears. No one i have seen makes an adapter plate and the only sti hub that they bolt to, is a different setup from all the others. Your best bet is to paint them or you will be doing a whole lot of grinding on your calipers/hubs to make them work right... I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE.
