Are the front calipers the 4-pots with the 'SUBARU' lettering? If so then yes, as these calipers/294mm front discs were OEM fitment on the STi v.3>on (with those 'curvy' lol 5-spoke gold 16" alloys).
Are the rear ones the 2-pots with the 'SUBARU' lettering? If so, you need the 290mm rear discs with the spacer/bracket kit (available on eBay and from Ian Godney). Quite expensive for just rears that don't do much.
If it were me, I'd be inclined to get a set of cheap 17" alloys/tyres and invest in the K-Sport 330mm front brake kit only. Much better stopping power and prob not much dearer than the STi fronts PLUS rears.
I think there's still a K-Sport group buy going on at the mo by Bren at Apex - check it out...
