Out of WILD CURIOSITY, why could you possibly need an 8pot brake kit for your STI? Unless you plan on at least a 4pot, maybe 6pot rear kit to go with it, that's just silly. (Well really it's silly for even wanting an 8piston caliper, period).

More pistons doesn't equate better brakes. Every application is different. If you want some serious brakes I would highly suggest you look at Alcon or AP racing.

^^^^ Ya, 8 pot is weak. I would go 12 pot if I were you.

Shoot, why not just use 2 12 pot caliper on each side of the disc? That would be world's first 24 pot brakes...

Those brembo's are sick, sick sick. 8 piston is a bit overkill but whatever works for you. In my opinion if you don't care about money go buy the Type R-RA brembo calipers (6 piston brembos). Wow, I would love to have those.

Well if money is no object, you can always go with the RA-R brakes.
