Did any of the JDM STI's come with 4 pot calipers???

As I have be offered some but the calipers doesn't appear to have subaru written on them and he says the disc diameter is 11" which is roughly 277mm which I thought were the 2 pot diameter????

Any help on this is welcome

Cheers

i think they came a year later the discs should be 294mm standard and yes unless they have subaru,ap,brembo etc they will most certainly be the 2 pots.

Those are clearly 2 pots, the same crap ones as on my 1995 WRX.
Get the guy to send a pic of the capilers from direct front, there should be 2 pistons on the left side and 2 on the right side.
I have found a link with some pics on it for you.

edited to say:
As catalunya199 says unless they have Subaru cast into the face you see through the wheel then I believe that makes them 2 pots.
