Depends if they are 'Subaru Brembo' or aftermarket Brembo.

The Subaru Brembos will work fine, but other Brembos (same size etc etc) will have a different brake line fitment.

Don't go for "cheapest"!

Go for EBC Bluestuff pads, which are superb, plus std or whatever discs Ian suggests. You'll appreciate it!
