Re: please clarify svx calipers on a gc8

I've bolted STi Brembos into my SVX before. The bolts will fit, but that's the end of the story. STi rotors won't fit an SVX, and vice versa. The caliper mounts farther out on an SVX and necessitates a larger diameter rotor. The SVX also has more rotor offset (the hat section is taller). Also, plan on going up an inch in wheel size from the minimum fitment on his car (ie; if he can get away with a 17", you'll most likely need an 18). Brembos on an SVX don't fit under STi BBS rims, they need 18" wheels.
