Great fit
Easy install on my sti 2017 , only thing i had to do is to cut out extra inner brackets to fit the speakers and there you go !! You just installed a new speaker without any problems

Needs fabrication
Size and fit to car was ok. Need some foaming underneath so it doesn't vibrate. None of screws in my area fits in the holes. Need to fabricate to make it work. Wont buy Again I would rather make local ones

For my WRX 2012
It fits perfectly, didnt have to drill a hole, just look for the F and L simbols on each one.Tip: when installing, don’t tied the head screw all the way in, just a little for positioning.

Some modification may be required
I had to break off all the inner screw holes because the speaker would not fit in there. Kinda disappointed but it did work after modifying it.

2017 WRX -Base model. Easy install. Slight modifications.
This came without installation instructions even though the back of the sealed bag the brackets came states, "Follow the enclosed installation instructions..." (see picture¹).This comes with 4 brackets:2 wedge shaped brackets (1Left/1Right) that mount directly to inner steel door panel.2 flat brackets (1Left/1Right) that mount with speakers on top of the other two.Both sets are identical in shape and mounting hole position.I think the flat brackets are optional in case of clearance issues behind the speaker.I used all 4 and still had plenty of clearance both in front and behind the speakers.When mounting the wedge shape brackets, the taller side should be positioned towards the front of the car, so the speakers angle towards the rear. Compare with the angle of the factory speakers.I drilled a 5/8" hole in the side of each bracket to pass the speaker harness wires through and wrapped the harness clips with fabric tape so the rattle on anything & around the wires so the insulation won't wear down.Passenger side: The bracket aligns perfectly with all three factory mounting holes.Drivers side: The upper and lower left bracket holes line up but for the lower right I had to drill a hole in the steel panel and secure with coarse sheet metal screw.*TIP* Before drilling through steel apply a small piece of making tape, then mark the position with a pen. The masking tape will help keep the bit from "walking". You can also lightly strike an awl or punch with a hammer to create a dimple if the surface is round or if you don't have making tape. Or do both.I spent about 45 min. on the Driver side and about 25 on the Passenger side. That may seem long to some, but I wanted to do it right. I took my time. Also I'm currently on vacation. So, technically I'm getting paid to do this.One more thing... The factory speakers have a lip on the back side that acts as a shield against dripping water. They are small but look close and you can see water spots (See picture²) meaning water will eventually reach your speakers without it.I recommend getting some DEI 050330 Boom Mat Speaker Baffles, 6.5" Round (Pack of 2) and just cut the back and lower side walls to replicate this feature. Or don't cut them and keep the speaker enclosed. But as Crutchfield adviser told me, it may muffle/degrade the quality of sound. DEI 050330 Boom Mat Speaker Baffles, 6.5" Round (Pack of 2)
