    Are STi rotors like 'substantially' bigger than the stock 04 WRX rotors? I got my new STi front rotors to go with the Brembos I bought from Doug and I tell ya those things are HUGE! I haven't gotten my brakes from Doug yet which should arrive today so I can't compare them to the 06 rotors that he included. Figured I would just ask you guys up front. I mean they are a couple inches bigger.

    I just measured them and they have a diameter of 13". Sound right? I think so because most Brembo BBK are 13". Isn't the STi considered the BBK?

    Man these rotors look so nice. They are all vented and everything. $187 shipped for the fronts which is a steal for 13" rotors. I'm gonna take some pics and post them later and if anyone is interested I'll post a review of how they work after I install them.

    There is a brembo upgrade for the sti so do not confuse the two. Brembo was kind enough to offer us an 'upgrade' ;)

    Is there anywhere where you can find out what 17's fit them? I've got some OZ f1's but I'm not convinced they would be able to fit properly.

    Not that I know of. I just found tons of pics of STi's with Tarmac II's with the Brembos so I was convinced I won't have any problem. It will be a tight fit though!
