Front or rear? I rebuilt the rears on my '02 WRX. Straightforward to do and looked good after painting. It's worth paying for stainless steel pistons.
What 2 versions have you seen?

Rear WRX 2 pots, at least the ones I rebuilt, have alloy pistons so no need for stainless unless they’re damaged.

Got links? I'm pretty sure all the 4 pot WRX/Sumitomo calipers use the same pistons and seals.

There's a good chance 43mm is for a sliding 2 pot caliper.
