The easiest way to upgrade the rears is to fit either the 2001 onwards WRX 2 pots and 290mm discs , or the 2001 onwards STi rear brembo 2 pots with 316mm discs , I can supply you a fitting kit for either setup making them a straight forward bolt on job.
If you are sticking with the standard sized subaru 4 pot 294mm discs , you would have to fit the 290mm rear WRX brakes to keep the ballance right
Cheers Ian

You could just change the discs and pads if you wanted.

I run bigger brakes (6 Pots) on the front of mine and don't feel like the single pot rears are an issue.
