The STI piston is 2mm small vs. stock.
The Z33 / R33 piston is 2mm larger vs. stock

The STI rotor will not work on a Z32. The Z32 rotor allows for some over hang of the STI pad. The STI calipers are made of some SHIT aluminum that deteriorates and is soft, the bolt holes strip easy and they like to rot out by the banjo fitting. Even Subaru stopped using them after like 2 years and moved black to SUMITOMO calipers (which looks EXACTLY like your stock caliper BTW).

IF you still don't believe me I have all this documented in pictures
IF you still don't believe me I will sell you a pair of rear STI calipers so you can realize just how FUCKING POINTLESS they are

I can't tell you how much I hate on this idea.
