Default 05 caliper,fitting to rear 2 pots?

Hi
I have just bought some 05 calipers for the rear of my 97 forester.

Iv been told these wont fit stright on,but the bloke who i bought them from said he has got the hole hub from his 05 sti which will be a direct swap,then the calipers will fit?

Did that lot make any sense

Anyway is this true?

Cheers
Dannytwo.

the STi uses an R180 diff and larger hub/driveshaft assemblies so no the hubs don't fit straight on!!

think DYNEY on here made some adaptor brkts to fit the later SUBARU black 2pots to use the new-age WRX discs....................what i opresume you have is the BREMBO gold caliper, that uses a different disc again and will be a pain to make work on a std R160 diff car.............
