If they are monogram 'SUBARU' then they are 2pot rears if not then they are 1 pots.

To upgrade to 2 pots you'll need the calipers, pads, discs, bracket to fit the calipers and bend/cut back the backing plate from memory.

AFAIK Ian at Welcome To Godspeed Motorsport can give you the best advice and probably supply the brackets

Nope, most of the braking is from the fronts so sort them and balance the rears with decent pads and you're sorted
