STi Brembos on a 335i?
I have the front gold brembos off my 07 subaru and i was wondering if anyone knew if i could transfer them over to my 07 335i that i will be picking up wednesday.. not looking to swap rotors just yet.
Thank you, Paul.

If anything, they might fit on the rear.
Most likely not the front. The 335 rotors are pretty big in the front.

From one Subaru guy to another, why would you want to? Your Brembos can easily be sold to a WRX or Legacy GT owner. STi Brembos are ~ 1" smaller than the 335 front brakes. Stopping power is NOT dependent on the number of pistons in the caliper, but rather the piston area, pad sweep area and Mu (coef. of friction) of the pads being used. That said, monobloc calipers typically flex much less than a sliding caliper and as a result offer better pedal feel and modulation. Overall, neither a 135i or STi brembo would be an upgrade in stopping power to the front brakes on a 335.

335s already have great stopping power thats repeatable on the track. Just the pedal feel is a little soft. You'll get about 60 hard applications before they fade completelely.

I would go for the monoblock instead of the floating caliper, but that's just me.

You can also add a soild Pin in the floating caliper to give it less flex. A nice set of SS lines, pads and fuild. Done setup.
