I was looking at a big upgrade to STi calipers on my 2010WRX. as you would well know I cant just slap STi discs on due to PCD issues. Does DBA do a "conversion" disc with WRX PCD hats and STi diameter rotors?

Suppose its worth asking while I am here will the STi calipers bolt straight onto the existing WRX struts?

Finally is this all a bit over the top and will i get acceptable braking performance from MRT pad upgrades with 4000's rear and 5000's on the front?

Thanks in advance. :)

@bambisniper yes there is a DBA rotor that can be swapped between the sti and the wrx, plus we do a MRT sport or race pad that would meet your needs

Hey brett,

Why do some applications of rotors have the slots in the reverse direction.?

Like so that the outer bit of the slot will touch the brake pad first.

[Brettmiddleton]

the slots are designed to clean the pad and allow gas to escape. They are different left to right to suit the rotation of the rotor
