Paragon Performance Brakes for Subaru WRX & STI: Big Brake Kits and 2-Piece Rotors
Chicane Australia stocks Paragon Performance Brakes big brake kits, 2-piece rotors, 1-piece rotors and brake hardware for the Subaru WRX and STI. These cars are AWD, turbocharged and heavy over the front axle, a combination that punishes factory rotors under repeated heavy braking. Paragon's range, developed with a competition record that includes the 25 Hours of Thunderhill, is built for that thermal load.

Choosing the Right Part
Start with your chassis code. Front 1-piece rotors are listed by size against specific chassis — 326 x 30mm for WRX STI (GD/GR/GV/VA), 340 x 30mm for WRX STI (VAB), 316 x 30mm for WRX (VA) and 315 x 28mm for WRX (VB). Rear 1-piece rotors follow the same approach, such as 316 x 20mm for STI (GR/GV/VA) and 290 x 18mm for WRX (GD/GG).
If you are keeping the factory Brembo caliper and upgrading only the rotor, confirm whether your car runs the 4-pot or 6-pot front Brembo, as 2-piece rotor specs differ (326 x 30mm for GDB/GRB/GVB/VAB 4-pot, 340 x 30mm for VAB/VAF 6-pot). RA-R, S207 and S208 variants use a 340 x 32mm 2-piece front rotor. Spec-C and special-edition variants can have non-standard factory brakes, so confirm your chassis code with us before ordering.
For big brake kits, wheel clearance is the first thing to check: the 6-piston front kits require more clearance than the 4-piston kit, and wheel diameter, offset and spoke design all affect fitment. Big brake kits are designed to mount to factory hub and knuckle points, and the rear kit is intended to keep brake bias sensible once the front has been upgraded.
Installation & What You'll Need
Installation by a professional is recommended. Use fresh brake fluid and follow a proper bed-in procedure with your chosen pad. On a rotor-only upgrade, the brake lines, master cylinder and ABS remain factory. Paragon 2-piece rotors use replaceable cast iron friction rings on an aluminium hat, so only the ring needs replacing when it wears, and the separate hat helps isolate heat from the hub while reducing unsprung weight compared with a one-piece rotor. Titanium and anti-squeal shims are available separately.
FAQ
Will a Paragon big brake kit clear my STI's wheels? Clearance depends on wheel diameter, offset and spoke design, and the 6-piston front kits need more room than the 4-piston kit. Send us your wheel specs before ordering.
Do I need a big brake kit, or will 2-piece rotors on my factory caliper be enough? For street and light track use, 2-piece rotors with a suitable pad are usually enough. A big brake kit suits regular track days where more thermal margin and pad area are wanted.
Can I run Paragon rotors with DIXCEL pads? Yes. Paragon rotors can be paired with DIXCEL pads in the correct shape for your caliper, and a bundle builder is listed for the WRX (GD/GG).
Do you ship Paragon big brake kits Australia-wide? Yes, we ship nationally.
