Default Why's my 93WRX got vented disks all around?

I was told and read in a book that a MY93 WRX should have solid disks at the rear? doesnt look like a caliper up-grade but i cant really tell.

It was a fresh import when i got it so couldnt ask the previous owner, does any one know if its possible to put vented disks in the standard caliper or if they do have vented disks anyway.

cheers GAZ

Maybe it was just UK cars that had solid rear disks. My UK legacy turbo has vented rears as standard though.

I thought 280mm were used with 4 pot fronts or are they all the same size. The reason i ask is i have just bought some 260mm front disks for my 93 ra that i was going to fit on saturday.

well on the EBC site it says 94-9? is 277mm
and the rears are 260 i think.

i think i'll take a wheel off and measure mine to be on the safe side.

sizes are exactly the same for the early WRX 277mm front vented and 266mm rear vented!!

the UK cars changed to a vented rear at 99 to match the JDM cars..........
