Did anyone on here go to an install day in/around Delaware and convince the owner of an 05 STi to borrow one of his brake calipers for test fitting purposes on your SVX?

It was a Silver 05 STi, and he said someone with an SVX wanted to see if the calipers would fit.

Anyone of you guys?

That was me. I didnt get a chance to determine 100% that it is possible. But I did figure out that the bolt holes line up. It definitly needs further looking into.

If you all want my opinion on the subject, well bolt holes are not the issue in my opinion, what matters is the ability to fit the bolting of the whole braking system (larger discs), and the difference of the bolts can be machined in between the original holes...

How cool would it be if we fitter 320mm or even 345mm braking systems??? The holes can be redrilled in my opinion :cool: ;)

How long ago was that?

That car is sitting at our shop with that caliper still unbolted, lol.
