How to install STI Brakes on a VB WRX without using a 7.5 mm rotor spacer. Paragon Brakes was nice enough to work with my KZfaq channel and develop a 2 piece rotor that fits perfectly with the Brembo Calipers. Paragon Brakes offers rotors to work with 4 or 6 Piston STI Brembo brakes. Installing Rotora brake lines on my VB WRX. These Rotora stainless steel lines will give better brake pedal feel and feedback. With $48,000 price tag on the 2024 WRX TR. This is a nice option for the VB community.

Interested to see if you decide to increase the size of the rear rotors. I think the GT models come with larger rear brakes, so that should allow for upgrade room on the manuals. Potentially adding some thermal headroom and stability under load. Or it's potentially completely useless. Regardless, good video man! Looks fantastic!

Thanks for the feedback. I believe the GT model is equipt with the same exact brakes as all the rest of the WRX lineup. The TR will be the first to introduce larger brakes.

You did an amazing job filming all this! Thank you for making it so detailed and its absolutely beautiful because my car is WRB too and I would have chosen the neon green myself. Only thing I think you missed was the torque spec for the 6 piston brake caliper itself. What spec is it spose'd to be? Also, I think I asked you this on Instagram but can you try and fit the OEM wheels with these? I know you had the 17" for the Base, but I have the Limited with 18" and I'm wondering if it's enough clearance. The VOLK wheels are the win, love that color on the car, it really makes the brakes pop whereas the gold are very very distracting.

@JDMRightHandDrive 8 ай бұрын

I totally forgot about test fitting the stock 17 inch wheels for you. I sold the stock wheels about a month ago. The 17's definitely would not fit with out a spacer and I don't think they would have enough clearance to fit around the 6 piston calipers. I think your 18's would fit with a spacer and maybe longer studs. If your going to spend the money for this type of brake system, you should get yourself a nice set of wheels as well. As far as the torque spec, I read on line that it was over 100 ft lb. That seamed to me like a good way to strip the aluminum threads in the calipers and from what I read that was a misprint for the torque spec on the internet. I went with 60 ft lbs on mine. I didn't want to say because I don't want anyone blaming me for them stripping out their calipers by over torqueing . I like the Volk wheels as well. I think I am going to sell my STI wheels and get myself some 18 with a +38 offset and make those my daily set. So glad to hear you enjoy the detail I put into this. Definitely was a lot of unanswered questions with upgrading the VB to STI brakes that needed to be answered for the community. Thanks for your support and for watching my videos. Lots more to come. 👍

Looks great! I’m sure they function even better. Question, with your wheel setup of +35, and the paragon rotor pushing out the wheel +7.25mm more, how does your offset appear? To my understanding you’d be at a +31.5 offset now. Trying to get a flush look with no poke.

@JDMRightHandDrive 2 ай бұрын

The Paragon rotors do not push the wheels out +7.25mm. They are the same offset as the factory rotors. Its the 2 piece rotor top hat that changes where the disc itself sits. This is a direct bolt on set up with stock fitment. So don't worry there is no poke out of the wheel, its a nice flush fitment.

how about just buy a TR?

You can if you like, but I am not spending 50k on a Subaru myself. There are better platforms out there for that kind of money.

Directional rotors. You’re using it on the wrong side

Rotora is the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with, and that says A LOT lol.

Sorry that you had a bad experience with them. I send Rotora an email inquiring about brake lines for my set up. They called me within 30 minutes and made me a set of lines, which I received 2 days later. Personally my experience was good with them. I was thankful to finally hear back from a company. I spent several weeks reaching out to various companies asking for information in which brake lines would fit and all I got was crickets. This was one of the biggest hold ups for me completing this project sooner, so I was very happy Rotora provided me with the information and parts I needed to finish my install. Thanks for watching and thanks for your support.

@@JDMRightHandDrive They sold me a pair of rotors that cracked all the way from the hat to the edge in multiple places around the rotor in a few short weeks. They made every attempt at blaming me, and even tired to get me to pay to ship them back! This back and forth lasted weeks if I remember correctly. Finally I gave up and told them I would keep driving on them, and they can answer for themselves in court when they come apart and cause an accident. Suddenly they were interested in sending me replacements... guess what? Did exactly the same thing. Worst company I've ever dealt with. What a waste of $350. I've never been able to crack another rotor...... but yeah you're right Rotora, it's my fault 🤣

What suspension do you have? I really like the fitment

My car has the Eibach ProKit lowering springs with factory struts. Its about a 1 inch drop front and back. Thanks for watching.

@@JDMRightHandDrive I've always read that lowering springs destroy ur stock suspension and ride quality becomes worse. Are those exaggerations? In a perfect world we all get coils but they're pretty pricey. Also how much does the lowering springs labor+parts cost? Thanks a lot!
