Question MY05 Rear Disc Size

As title, does anyone now the size of the rear discs on an MY05 WRX ??

I have seen 266mm and 290mm on some websites.

Cheers
Mark

Cheers for the info

Seems strange that 266mm seems to be the stated size for my year on most websites

make sure they have the 'small' 170mm handbrake specifically for the new-age WRX.............classic typr-R's use a similiar set-up but with a larger 190mm handbrake assembly and the discs don't interchange

Well the discs I have had from Demon Tweeks were supplied for the Newage MY05, the fit over the handbrake but are only 266mm, so I aint using all the braking surface at the moment, need to get hold of some 290mm ones.

speak to someone who actually knows what you have, rather than a listing in a (wrong) catalogue..............only new-age cars that ever came with 266mm discs like most classics use is eraly bug-eye imports...........
