Hey Mo, how come you didn't go with the non drilled and slotted rotors? Yes, I read you wanted to match the front brakes but it would have been less to get these rotors drilled and slotted than buying it already done.

Are they the same? They are 114.3. If you have a micrometer, do you mind measuring the thickness and diameter of the rotor? Thanks!

Here is the link. It says it fits 2005-2007 STI

I haven't had my rotors machined yet, but the calipers do indeed bolt on using the existing brake lines. The hardware screws right into the 'new caliper'.

Does anyone have pictures of them mounted on the backside besides the page 3 OP picture?? Im just having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that these calipers really do just "bolt on" to the MK3 hub. Amazing.

evo caliper bolts right up, only problem i ran into so far is that the supra caliper bolts are a little too big. They only screw in like 4 threads. Going to order a set of rear evo caliper bolts, and hopefully that take cares of that :) pics are coming.

This is true. I forgot to mention the MK3 bolts will not fit through the hub.

Luckily my calipers came with all of the associated hardware so it was not abig issue. Again, this is literally a bolt-on affair. Perhaps I'll take some time this weekend and get the rotors machined.

Thanks for the pics. I've been swamped with work and having been able to do much to the car.
