Default Fitting brembos to a uk wrx newage

Ok chaps after my ring trip I need a brake upgrade.
Currently on the stock wrx 4 pots with a Godspeed kit all round,
So I'm going to do the basic sti upgrade to brembos other than the calipers, discs,pads and 4bolts is there anything else needed? Disc guards? Lines are hell versions still fine to use?
Seen few posts but no one mentions lines or disc guards etc. Is the wrx master cylinder the same as a sti?
Regards

Which wheels are you running (photos don't load at work so can't check your project thread), will need to go to sti 17s or an 18" option, don't think there are many 17" wheel designs that clear the Brembos.

Backing plates wouldn’t be essential but are available reasonably priced on ICP. The lines should fit fine if from the original 4 pots, what banjo bolts will you be using? Shouldn’t be a concern but always best to make sure the banjo bolts don’t hit against the back of the pistons.

dust guards aren't really needed and simply bolt on from the front once you have the disc off.........
banjo bolts will be no issue and are the same

caliper mounting bolts are specific to the Brembo

if your planning on doing the rears you will need either bigger handbrake shoes, i recently did the upgrade and found that godspeed do a conversion shoe that will fit the wrx hub but still make contact with the drum so you still have a handbrake, if it's just the front your doing then as people have said it all bolts on simple
