Default 4 pot calipers

does anyone know what different cars might be good sources for 4 pot calipers for a classic scoob?
obviously there are loads to choose from but there must be a few jap motors that share common parts, or perhaps from a skyline or evo. sorry for swearing on this forum or even some from other parts of the world as not many car makers really make their own brake components right?
any thoughts from anyone who has tried a bit before?

There isn't another caliper off another car that will fit on an Impreza , The Nissan 300zx and 200 SX share the same pads as the Subaru 4 pots , and the caliper are made by the same people , and look very similar , but the lugs are different in length and spacings.

The same as the STi Gold brembos , they share the same pads, pistons and seals to the EVO , but again the lug spacings are different.

If you look around you can get a good deal on the Subaru 4 pots which is a good starting point , I have seen these sell for about £100

Put 4 pots onto my 93wrx sometime ago with uprated pads,standard discs and Goodridge hosing and i'm a lot more confident with the braking ability.
