I don't think anyone would know this off the top of their heads. One way to check would be to see if the brake mount hub/bracket used for the STS-V has the same part number as the standard STS. Keep in mind that even if the calipers fit the hub, the calipers also have to clear the id of the wheel.

Why on earth do you want to do this? With your stock ABS calibrated to the stock brakes, you'll wind up with longer stopping distances, so if you're thinking this will improve real-world braking, the answer is "no." Plus, you'll need to make sure that the STS uses the same master cylinder as the STS-V--those multi-piston calipers likely need a a higher volume of fluid for equivalent pad travel. Stick them on an STS with a stock MC, and your pedal travel will increase, perhaps too much to be safe.

I think this might be one of those superficially good ideas that, on reflection, might not be so good.

Hello,
Yes they will fit your STS. However you will need to change a little bit more than just your brakes to make this work. You will have to change out your hub to accept the 6x115 bolt pattern the STS-V brakes are set up for. You will also then need to change your wheels in order to accomodate the new bolt pattern. Hope that helps.

p.s. If you are looking to upgrade your brakes, we have a complete brake system upgrade. This system is better than even the STSV factory brembos.
Here is a picture of an STS with the BBK.
