Default Classic rear 2 pot conversion

Whats involved? Does there need to be a bracket to fit them to a UK MY00?
What models did they come on, and finally, will the disc size change on MY00?

if you have a classic , they have 266mm rear discs as standard , you need the 290mm discs to fit the 2 pot calipers , and the fitting kit we make , I can supply you grooved discs , fitting kit including P&P for £200 all in

Thanks for the info.
I'll certainly think about it.
I'll be on the lookout for some cheap 2 pots.
So if I were to look for pads for them, what model impreza do I need to look up?

Yeah they look it. But is it worth having 2 pot rears? I was thinking about it mostly for the looks.

I think it helps keep the balance of the brakes if you have uprated discs/pads. It certainly cant do any harm.
