Which discs and pads for my car 97 Type R
As above.
I remember last time I need rear discs they are a nighmare to get?
Anyway I have been on ebay and I am lost.
I basically am looking for a set of front and rear discs and pads.
Can someone give me part numbers and/or measurements, vented or non vented etc?

The rear discs we can only get from Subaru , haven't found anyone that does a 290mm solid rear disc with 190mm handbrake , so I would recommend fitting 290mm vented discs from a version 4 & 5 , and fitting rear vented one pot calipers from the classic WRX , P1 ect , as these will fit straight on.
You can fit the 2 pot brakes on , but will need new backplates , at about £100 each , and stripping them to fit will probably damage the wheel bearings so they would need changing , unless you can find some later hubs complete with discs and 2 pots at a reasonable price.
Fronts are straight forward enough having 294mm vented discs and Subaru 4 pots as standard

Nightmare V3 do as Ian says and get yourself some V4/5/6 hubs and be done with it. Then fit 2 pots. I have a set or two of V3 discs floating about somewhere if there of any use to you. Don't know what there like but I think they where ok. Also have some Subaru rear 2 pots.

Sorry to hijack.
Have a 96 turbo. Am told it has v1/2 engine and I know it's made up of all sorts version parts thrown together. Is there an easy way to identify which hubs I have. Looking to upgrade to 2pot rears and have set of my99 rear hubs sare if I need to swap.

OK firstly chill out its not like I asked a completely different question. Secondly if I started a thread titled which pads and discs for my 96 turbo I'm 110% sure I would be told to refer to other threads using search bar and be directed to your thread and be non the wiser. Is a very appropriate post on a thread that people are already involved in and can help. Get over it
For the op i got mine from icp they were not cheap though
but way way cheaper that a dealer.
