Any rears at MY08 changeover is a pain in the arse. Dave's caliper came off an MY08 Sti and still had to be machined to suit.
In my case it almost impossible to get the physically bigger MY08 onto the Liberty without replacing the whole rear hub assembly. Shits me to tears. As to get the smaller <MY08 onto the rears still involve bog bones, specific rotors to suit the park brake or a park brake adjustment kit. Substantially adds to costs.
The MY08+ rear calipers aren't quite as big as the fronts but when compared against the previous rear calipers they are substantially larger.
Pre MY08 Rear Caliper
MY08 and later full set
My dream would be the MY08 above in silver and with STI lettering.
