Default Brake swap for 2013 WRX

Got my eye on these for a brake upgrade for my RS 40:

Subaru Impreza | Brakes & Suspension | Gumtree Australia Wanneroo Area - Clarkson | 1077764528

Does anyone know here know if they would be a bolt on replacement, or if not what would be needed to do to make them fit? Thanx

The fronts will bolt on, my brother has just done this on his my10wrx the rear by the looks of the picture are sliders which is the same as your car's rear end so wouldn't bother with the rears.

Front rotors and calipers will bolt on. I believe rear calipers and rotors will not fit. I think it has something to do with a different sized handbrake.

Have you looked into the Gen-5 LGT brakes? Bigger calipers and rotors and better stopping power than the old 4-pot wrx ones..

I run them on my SH9 Forester, they made a big differance compared to my old stock ones (same as WRX)

How readily available are they going to be in WA?
and is it a straight swap?

Not sure on how hard there are to find in W.A (I got mine from the U.S for a bargin price) maybe ring around the wrecker yards.

The front calipers are also the same as a TriBeCa & Gen-4 LGT & Gen-5 3.6r models & the rears are the same as BRZ & Toyota 86 GTS.

And yes they are a direct bolt on..
