Another vote for Alyn. Are you sure you need the shoes as they don't normally wear as they are only used when stopped.

Have got an 02 WRX and will be putting on 02 STI Rear Brembos,which,so i have been informed,will need new handbrake shoes.

Altho,my local Subaru specialist told me they have never put bigger shoes on?

I think you're right that the brembo drum is a larger diameter. Is the backplate different as well? I imagine that any aftermarket kit will reuse the backplate and shoes on the doner car leaving a WRX to Brembo conversion in no mans land. Really don't know but I'm sure Alyn will. Worth checking with him before going ahead.
