Default What calipers under '98 16'' wheels?

Hi! I've tryied to search something but i've not found anything...
I have a 1998 v4 subaru WWW (it's an italian limited edition, a wrx), this one:

It has 16'' wheels.
As now i have my99/00 subaru brand 4 pots front and single pot floating vented rears (original master cyl), what bigger calipers i can put under this wheels?
Here in italy isn't too easy to put bigger than factory wheels, so if there are some bigger calipers that goes straight on, it's better...
Really thanks!

There are AP racing calipers that can fit under 16's. I'd imagine theire limit is probabyl fairly close to 300mm, so not too much bigger, but better calipers.

Uhm, i've searched a bit about ap kits, and i've found only a 330mm kit and a 355mm kit. Nothing at about 300mm... Maybe i can made some customized brakets and turn discs on a lathe...

the maximum you can fit under a standard 16" scooby sheel is 308mm, there are a few kits around, i think it was Alcon who did the original prodrive kit.

I can supply you a 304mm kit with AP 4 pot calipers or brembo 4 pot calipers that will fit under those wheels
