Default EVO brake upgrade for new age WRX

As the title suggests I have first refusal on a set of front EVO brembo callipers with which I plan to upgrade my MY02 WRX brakes. Does anyone know what is involved in the fitting of these? I have STI wheels but am unsure of the offset and space between fixings. Im sure a bracket could be made to allow for any difference in the fixing diameter but will this therefore result in a weak spot, possibly suffering from stress under heavy braking?!?!??!?!

Can anyone be of assistance?

Can't help you, but what about contacting GodSpeed Brakes he might be able to help you with some info.

I looked into doing this, as EVO calipers can be found a lot cheaper than the gold STI ones. But by the time you pay to get brackets made and i think you would have to fit bigger than standard (custom made) disks. It works out more expensive and a lot of hassle. I got some Gold Brembos after.
