Default Parts Required for Brembo Install

Ok, going to tackle the 08+ Brembo install.

What parts are required to complete this?

So far:
Calipers - Check
Discs - Check

But I've been told I need some bolts that have a different pitch on the brembos to the standard brakes? Can anyone tell me a part number or where to buy?

Also, are there any good one man brake bleeder kits?

Any info is much appreciated!

The Brembo mounting bolts use a 1.5 thread pitch as opposed to the Subaru 1.25.

You will run into difficulties fitting the 2008 rears to a GC.
The front discs will have the wrong stud pattern unless they came from Liberty STi not a WRX STi.

Also, I know you know better but in case any noobs may read this in the future, do not buy any bolts for your car, especially caliper bolts from Bunnings!

Except for Tino, his car thrives on Bunnings bolts!

john, i reckon all you'll need will be the backing plates. then remanufacture the centre of the plate to remount up to the 4x mounting bolts on the rear hub.
