All directions requires some level of freedom in all directions which I am not sure is true in this case. I think this likely works in a lateral mode looking at them again.
I think the greater breaking capacity of the rear STI brakes and the significantly larger mass of the vented rear rotor on the STI compared to the WRX and the mounting bracket strength may be part of the issue. This bracket not only has a damper, but also almost doubles the thickness of the mounting surface.
It will be interesting to see if I notice any difference. Laguna is in 2 weeks.
Anybody want to help bleed brakes this weekend if it is warm?
