Does anyone know if a set of brembo front calipers from a 2009 hse s/c will fit a 2006 hse obviously swapping to the bigger discs aswell?

Will depend what wheels you have. I believe there are only a couple of styles that are compatible with the larger calipers  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

Not sure of make but they are 22" but hoping to swap to the hst wheels? What other styles will fit? Are the calipers a straight swap between the models that was my main concern
Thanks

Ah, in which case you should have plenty of room. Wasn't sure if you were running 19" standard HSE's
I'll let someone more technically able than myself comment re if it's a straight forward swap or not.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

My previous RRS HSE (2007) had factory fit 19" Y spoked wheels (same look as on the car at the top left on this forums header) and it had factory fit Brembo's on the front wheels. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

They look like the 20"s to me.

I recall some 19"s fit and some don't. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

The Calipers and larger discs will bolt straight on no problem at all, only mod I had to do was fit 3mm spacers behind my 22" wheels for the brake clearance.  Java black 2006

Thanks for that what wheels do you have?

Mine were the 19s and did have Brembo's, which was my main point. I know the ones on the pic look like the 20's but I just pointed the pic out as an indication of the "style" of wheel as this is the same style as my 19s were. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

i won a set of calipers on ebay the otherday, gonna go pick them up today never checked that my wheels would be big enough first tho. i got 20" stormers so fingers crossed ill be ok.
ill let you know how i get on fitting them later tonight.

How did the fitting go?

Not the best. There was no pads with them so I'm after a set.
Do you think green stuff pads or brembo pads?
Also the calipers are black and I'm in two minds wether to get them power coated red or not? My cars black so red will stand out but might look.... Tacky??

I have the same dilemma! I'm swapping from years of impreza ownership and have always used ebc pads, but have heard mixed reviews on rr pads, car is also black so unsure on colour aswell!!

From an ex P1 owner myself i would use brembo pads, they are tried and tested on the sport with great feedback If you want to see how red calipers look on a black sport search awd range rover sport another subaru ex owner on here, his sport looks with red calipers, there is also a step by step guide on here on how to paint them.
