HOW TO INSTALL STI BREMBO BRAKES ON YOUR 2022/2023 SUBARU WRX

Hey everyone!
I have been taking a short break since making some rather large life choices and have been enjoying some off time. I recently found some time to put together this video for you. This is how I installed the infamous 6 pot STI Brembo Brake swap on my 2022 WRX. It is not a simple bolt on, but with the right parts, it's also not a difficult install.
In other news, The Hapawerks channel is moving on from the VB WRX Platform, Stay tuned for what all is next.

[@Flex_WRX]

Great video man!! Can’t wait to get a good set of brakes!

[@stock.cars.2ned]

Great video bro. Thanks for the simple tips and list of parts.

[@Hapawerks]

No problem 👍

[@Hapawerks]

What do you guys think about the STI Brakes? What daily vehicle is next for the Hapawerks channel?! Don't forget to leave any questions you have underneath in the comments. Please don't take this as the only way to swap these brakes onto your car. There has been other options brought up in the forums that I personally do not agree with and will not be covering on my channel!

[@RedBRZ23]

You are the man! But holy cow, that’s a lot of work! I’m skipping this mod. 😂

[@HeavyMetalWRX]

Oh nooooo not thr VB! Also love the FF sound effects 🤘

[@JDMRightHandDrive]

To bad to hear your selling your VB WRX. I understand not wanting to have a car payment.

[@Samlol23_drrich]

I'm just not clear.....are you recommending we do this.??

[@terraformingcats8175]

Great video. Thanks! I’m interested in your calipers. How can I get in touch with you to buy them?

[@probablyawake]

He says instagram in the video!

[@GR_Papi]

I just finished mine. I went with custom rotors to fit 4 pots

[@MrGsxrme]

Who makes the rotors?

[@GR_Papi]

@@MrGsxrme paragon brakes.. ask for a custom hat with inner height of 37.5mm to fit Sti brembo on 22 wrx.

[@RobHTech]

The calibers bolt up to the VB mounting brackets? What year are the calipers, etc. from?

[@Hapawerks]

I believe I mentioned it in the video, however these are from a 18-21 STI for the 6/2 pots

[@bayareanational]

Do you know if these brakes will clear the factory 17” base model WRX wheels?

[@Hapawerks]

I am not sure about the base model rims, however they clear the limited wheels.

[@robbann8160]

what kind of suspension do you have installed on that WRX? And how does it ride?

[@Hapawerks]

KW V3 coilovers with custom sway bar end links! Incredible ride. Not sure you can get better than how these ride.

[@robbann8160]

@@Hapawerks that’s what I thought. :-) I know KW makes one of the best suspensions out there. I had Fortune auto 500, people rave How good those are but they were not very comfortable. The handled well and that’s about it. For my next set up that’s what I’m going to get as well. I’ve heard nothing but good things about KW‘s, especially with the dual Spring set up. The car handles great and it’s very comfortable and that’s what it’s all about for a daily. Unless you only track the car and trailer it to and from every event and don’t drive a daily.

[@SkylineLofe]

@@Hapawerks Gotta ask, how did you get V3's? I thought KW hasn't made any for this chassis yet

[@Hapawerks]

@@SkylineLofe Feel free to reach out to me on instagram!

[@XGTR24X]

You could use the ascent front rotor they fit perfectly

[@Hapawerks]

I was told they might fit for the 4 pot STI Setup with Pad overhang. This was just my version/design of the install.

[@fxt8324]

what year Ascent rotors

[@XGTR24X]

@@fxt8324 19 up

[@waybach]

I believe overhang is the issue on most custom brake kits unless they’re legit STI calipers/rotors. My dumbass purchased the brand new CTS Cadillac Brembo calipers without knowing about the overhang on our VB’s

[@wespauls9020]

Yeah booooooiiiiiii

[@charliebates9141]

Stupid question here… does the rotor space effect wheel offset?

[@Hapawerks]

It does! By 7.5mm. So For example a +45mm wheel would sit like a +37.5mm. I have ran a +40 and +45 wheel with no problems, and also confirmed that the OEM wheels fit with this setup as well!

[@ArolzStreams]

Can I put these my my 21’ Outback xt?

[@Hapawerks]

Ive had someone mount them to a new platform forester so I think it may be possible.

[@ArolzStreams]

@@Hapawerks Ty

[@SvyatoslavMazur]

Will it fit with standard 17 Wheels?

[@Hapawerks]

With this setup yes, the OEM 17" Wheels fit over the 6 pot sti brakes. Mainly due to the rotor spacer!

[@probablyawake]

Rip to the WRX

[@pequenioedgarito3067]

Dude. Are you like a certified mechanic or subaru cert mechanic? Cuz im not feeling the warm fuzzies. 😢

[@Hapawerks]

I am not a mechanic! sorry you are not feeling the fuzzies.

[@patrikabrenica3942]

Just dm'd you man.

[@aforeignstory]

Still selling part ?? Lol

[@Hapawerks]

Everything is sold to make way for the new cars coming to the channel soon!
