Default what discs for 2-pot rear upgrade classic?

I've got a v5 WRX (1999) and have the 2-pot rear calipers and conversion brackets. What discs do I need to get?

^^^ Correct.
To expand... Your handbrake drum diameter will be 170mm, new age WRX (2001-2007) is the same.
But cars with an R180 diff will have 190mm handbrakes, that STI / RA / Type R / JDM imports etc.

You can either buy OEM discs or upgrades from aftermartket people like godspeed or DBA

PS, have you already upgraded your front brakes? If not you'll have moved your brake balance rearward quite a bit and might find your rear wheels lock up first under hard braking. Which is not great for staying in a straight line!
