Hi
I used to use the 4 pot calipers off a 240 volvo on loads of cars , as they were easy and cheap to get hold of , but the supply has pretty much dried up , so haven;t used them for a number of years , the piston size and pad size is smaller than the subaru 4 pot calipers , so would be a backwards step fitting them over these , if your looking to fit 4 pots to your discs , fit the Subaru ones
Cheers Ian
