Can you find out and post how much a full four wheel set up of any or all kinds would be? I assume more than my cars blue book value.
There are many posts on the Brembos. They don't work. The bolt holes match, but the SVX knuckle is different and would put the calipers further out than the STi, requiring a larger diameter rotor. The problem is that the calipers used on the STi are already at the max rotor size they can accommodate. If you ran a larger rotor then it would either grind against the top and bottom edge of the caliper, or the pad would have it's outside edge hanging in space.
