+1
That's a monstrous brake kit. 6-pots are huge... at 8 pots on a Subaru.

I haven't heard of 385mm rotor for subies, I know brembo has 380mm rotors and 8 pot caliper. a bbk I can't afford to buy

RallySportDirect.com - Brembo Subaru 05+ STi GTR Big Brake Kit

FWIW, this pic of my car has 19in wheel on it, and stoptech 355x32mm rotors, I guess it might fit a 380mm rotor there but I'm not too sure.
