The brakes won't fit under the WRX 16 inch wheels. The brakes are the same 4pots Subaru brakes (painted red) people have been swapping in for years.

Regarding pricing:
SOA rep on hand said that Tuner Ready "TR" edition is Real! Pricing is expected to increase by $100 - $200 on STi and WRX models. TR model is expected to cost around $23,000...close to the original price of the 2002 WRX.
If you're considering a WRX Wagon Limited it might be worth the while to keep an eye on the Saab 9-2x as it will use the new 2.5L platform. Most likey it will even add a few goddies over the Subaru. The Saab are currently being sold under the GM pricing and the current 2.0L Aero (WRX/Turbo) models are going OTD for around $20,000.

17s or the 99 RS wheels like I have.

Im probably going to order all of the red 4-pot and 2-pot caliper sets that Subaru has in stock. Mmmmm monopoly.

Hmmm....How hard are the RS wheels to get a hold of? I ran a few searches (Ebay, Nasioc) and didnt come up with much.

Used pretty hard to find since alot of WRX owners buy them just to clear the 4-pots.

I bought mine new (since I get them cheap).

Do it! Hopefully the "retail" price won't be that much. I could use some brakes.

Well they are on the way. We should have them at Mastro by Tuesday.

Price wont be much more than the standard black 4-pots and a hell of alot cheaper than Rallispecs 2-pot rear setup.
