I can't see myself spending thousands on a set of F/R Brembos. All this including F/R calipers, Paint, Pads, F/R Rotors, Rear brackets, and Goodridge SS brake lines cost me Less than $850. Very happy how it turns out. Uses OEM rotors size and dust shields without cuttings. Rotor replacemants and pads is cheap and easily obtain. Please excuse my shitty English. Just wanted to share, what do you think of this set up?

Bias is shifted to the front about 7% when using both the front and rear calipers from the WRX. I opted to only do fronts as bias is only very slightly affected when only doing the fronts. A lot of discussion on this swap is out there, and a member on this forum did a bunch of math that seems to be accurate based on other threads in the FT86Club forum. This forum's post containing bias changes can be found here.
