That's what it sounds like. I'm just not 100% sure about what Ryan said about just removing the dust shield off the backing plate. I thought the dust shield and backing plate were one piece of metal... at least they are on the '04/'05 STi rears... which is why I think to do this conversion you either need the actual STi backing plates, or you need to cut up the WRX backing plates so the larger rotor will clear.

But again, I don't know much about what the '06/'07 brakes look like. All I know is I'm running the 2-pot rears with STi backing plates and the integrated dust shield is much larger than the WRX sized rotor I have on there.
