Godspeed do a kit that uses 335mm discs, with brackets and a spacer for the caliper as the discs are thicker too.

Godspeed kit uses your Subaru 4-pots. They use brackets and caliper spacers to accomodate the larger diameter and thicker disc.

If you don't want this, then the largest size is the same as your OEM discs (278mm IIRC). Any larger diameter disc needs brackets to push the caliper away from the hub and any thicker disc would need spacers in your calipers.

The 335mm godspeed kit, uses the satndard four pot calipers, but you get the brackets and spacers that you need to fit a bigger disc, the standard size disc on the four pots is 294mm, not 278!
The set I bought came with the calipers, even though I already had them, I then managed to sell mine for 300, therefore I got a big kit for £50!!

If you're not willing to spend out £600 ot thereabouts, then you'll have to have standard size but uprated discs and pads, but, for the extra, you just as well have to kit!!
