Default Brakes - Need Help!

I bought a set of front and rear discs plus pads this week for my MY01 UK300 (WRX).

I ordered the new Tarox F2000 discs (Track Day Package) with pads and the fronts fit fine but the rears were to small!

According to Tarox website the Bugeye has the same size brakes as the MY00 classic. This appears true for the front 4 pots as the 294mm disc fits fine but Ive found the rear 266mm provided was to small. About 20mm id say.

Ive been looking around on the net and cant find anything about the rear discs for a bug-eye, but they are 2 pot not 1 pot like the classics and nobody seems to list this.

Can anyone help here and let me know the actaul size of the rear discs i need as im getting stuck. The pads i removed were square type where as the ones they sent me are thin and long made for a 1 pot.

Help???

Just found on some website that there is a 282mm rear disc for Impreza's. Surely this cant be that hard, can anyone tell me what discs i need as i have to order these first thing tomorrow morning.

There appears to be 2 different types of pad, a long thin one and a sqaurish one, mine is the squarish pad. The discs that I had sent to me were 266mm and matched up with a mates classic but looked smaller than mine, although the braking area looked the same mine just had a rim of rusty metal surrounding??

The diameter is the same, the thickness is different. The later cars have vented rears not solid.
