Round 2: I'll be starting on the swap again tomorrow, but in the meantime I had a little bit of fun with some Brembos.
As YT found out a while back, the mounting lugs on the SVX knuckles are farther out than an Impreza's. The caliper mounts up, but with the added outward push my 17" STi rims don't clear them. Fortunately I just happen to have an 18" wheel lying around...
The stock rotors don't work at all, so I just tossed the wheel on without one. It's a tight fit:
Hard to tell in that picture, but there's about 2mm clearance from the wheel to the caliper. Obviously with a rotor installed that would be better.
Soooo pretty...
