Default 4-pot conversion

Excuse my ignorance if this sounds simple
Hopefully in the near future i'll be putting 4-pots on my turbo 2000, what i need to know is what do i need to change apart from the calipers. I.E can i still use my original discs or pads or wont they fit anymore ?
Thanks Jay

Thanks for the info. Next question is, will the 4 pots fit unde these wheels? Not sure exactly what model they are off. They are 16 inch Subaru wheels.

No they will not fit under those wheels , you will need the later spec 16" wheels
