Default Standard brakes on a JDM Bugeye WRX

I ve just got one and it has Brembo brakes,i just wondered if these are standard?
Also it will need some rear pads soon and i was wondering what pads i ll be needing?
I m not sure if there s more than one type but the calipers are gold if this helps?

I thought bugeye wrx import had 2 pot calipers on the front not even the 4 pot subaru caliper, So I would say if JDM wrx they have been upgraded in the past.

You'll need whatever is listed for a Bugeye STi. Or was you after an answer to what make pads you should get? If so, can't help. Look in the brake section, or on Ian Godney's group buy.

Cheers for the help

JDM and UK Brembo's are the same, as far as I know. The ones on the link will fit.
