Do WRX Front and rear rotors fit?
I am looking to get parts locally. Are there any major brake company's that nake brakes for the 91' SS? Do WRX front and rear rotos fit? I imagine those would be easier to find with mainstream brake comany's.

you mean caliper with the rotor right? would they fit under the 02-05 wrx wheel with the same year caliper and rotors?jamal wrote:wrx front rotors are bigger. 02-05 wrx rear rotors are narrower, 06 wrx rear rotors are bigger. nothing fits without switching everything else.
Maybe check tirerack?

If you wanted to swap the whole brake setup from a WRX, the 06 4-piston front calipers don't quite fit under 02-05 wheels. They do work with 98-01 RS wheels though. Those front calipers bolt directly to the spindle, and the rotors are the same size as the 02-05 (almost*). Rear 2-pots don't bolt up directly.
4-pots with turbo rears provides a great brake bias.
If you wanted to use WRX rotors, you'd need the calipers and brackets and 16" wheels. Rear 02-05 WRX brakes are the same diameter as our brakes but not vented and would also require new calipers and brackets.
*I hear the rotors for the 4 pot are actually 4mm bigger in diameter
Anyway this is getting a bit off track and what I said has been covered many times. WRX rotors are not compatible with turbo brakes.

Just for clarification.....to the original poster, were you referring to the 02-05 WRX brakes or 06 WRX brakes?
