Default wrx caliper and wheel fitment HELP!

Ok so I'm hoping to do a wrx front brake swap and I know it uses a 1" larger dia rotor than my stock 97. The problem comes in that I still want to use 15" wheels for when I rally cross/go snowboarding.

Has anyone run 15" wheels on their wrx or classic with the wrx swap? or any other CHEAP suggestions on decent brakes that will fit 15s. I'm a big junkyard/hotrod fan (my wrx brake swap would only run me about $100 total calipers and rotors) so spending 600 on a kit is far out of the question. thanks.

I's say you have no chance of running 15" wheels with any decent brake upgrade,If its the wrx 4-pots your on about they don't even fit over standard16" wheels.

this is in the US where we get all the crap so it's the floating calipers, 2 piston i think. I know some rally wrx's with stock brakes run 15" rally wheels but those are built specifically to clear the brakes and I don't want to spend $300 per wheel. it looks like I'm just gunna have to run really good pads, and lines. thanks though.
