I've done this to my svx, it really is just a case of simply buying backing plates, rotors and calipers for an sti and fitting them up and you have sti rear calipers that go nicely with my brembo 6 pot front caliper kit, see the link below;

http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=60338

but as far as a how to do document it would be this;

1. remove hub from car
2. separate dive shaft from drive flange
3. press out drive flange
4. disassemble handbrake assembly
5. remove four bolts attaching backing plate to hub
6. install new sti backing plate
7. install handbrake assembly
8. press in drive flange
9. install hub to car
10. fit new sti rotor DBA part number dba4655-10
11. fit new sti brembo caliper and bleed

thats just off the top of my head but i don't think i missed anything

i was thinking of using the complete hub assembly off an sti but the strut mount sits forward of the the svx hub which would move the angle of the of the strut and i'm not sure how this would affect suspension geometry
