possible sti ra v5-6 rear r180 hubs with sliding caliper

hi,
just going through my spares and found a set of rear hubs.
came with my v5/6 ra.
they are an odd size, hand brake are 190 and discs are 290 but 2 pots dont fit.
anyone know what they normaly run? sliding single pots?

as Ian mentions the sliding caliper / solid 290mm disc R180 set-up was only used on 97MY for the STi RA and Type-R cars - v4-6 used 2pots and vented 290mm discs

R180 rear shafts all interchange
