you need a bracket and also a bigger rotor, the 06+ wrx's came with 4 pots front calipers and the same size rotors as in past years but the rear rotors are bigger and the 2 pot caliper will not bolt up without a bracket. so in short if you have just the calipers for the front you can use your stock front rotors; and for the rear you will need 06+wrx rear rotors(i happen to have a set for sale) AND rear caliper brackets, Kartboy makes some. hope that helps

for the front you can use the front rotors and lines, i would get the rotors turned before i reinstalled them and flush all the brake fluid and bleed with new fluid for the whole system. for rears, i think the lines can be reused but definitely not the rotor. the bracket is 225 through Tom @ kartboy. they make very very high quality stuff and if anything goes wrong Tom's got your back.
