Default What rear brake disks

Hi guys

i have a 97 sti with rear single pot calipers. I recently bought a set of 2 pot calipers and fitting brackets. Just wondering what rear disks I need? Would it be a set of new age wrx rear disks at 290mm?

Thanks

Hi guys

No Dccd- been told I need bug wrx disks - are they 290 Mm at rear?

also how do I remove the pad retaining sliders? The screw fronts are chewed . Can I just hit them out from rear or are they threaded to a degree and need pliers to turn them ?

hunted YouTube for hours last night for someone removing rear 2pot wrx brakes and could not find that specifically

Thanks gents

What do you mean by pad retaining sliders. If your fitting Subaru 2 pots if I'm thinking along the same lines as you they go over your shoulder. You should be removing the whole carrier.

The pins holding the pads into the 2pot Subaru caliper are NOT threaded so simply tap through

So you can turn them to orientate the hole for the locking guide
