Default Brake/wheel question

Hi all, only picked my 1999 'vreg' Impreza up on Monday so still finding my way around it. Its got 4 pot 'Subaru' front calipers which my mate seems to think are a non-standard upgrade. My question is are they the standard ones and if not will standard 16" rims fit over them? The car is currently running 18's which are coming off.

Thanks
Jas

Standard brakes.
16" wheels were standard as well (2 styles).

Speak to the guys at Triton as I see your Dorset based.

Looked after my Imprezas for 12 years and done a pretty good job of it

As above. Also if you want a set of the correct wheels for your car (Subaru six spoke 16's that fit over the four pots) I have a set with half decent tyres on them for sale cheap and I'm in Wiltshire.

Thanks FMJ for your help with the wheels, top job. Hope to get them fitted on tomorrow. Now on the hunt for a standard airbox assembly!

No worries .

Airbox on ebay but a bit expensive imo.

If you need an airbox speak to Triton as they have a large container of goodies and have a few breakers in.
