All 4 pots that either have SUBARU embossed on them or with a sticker saying SUBARU on them will fit.

An example

Wouldn't buy them at that price though.

make sure you match them with the same fitment pads and discs, but other than that a straight bolt-on job (as long as your wheels clear)

Indeed, massively overpriced for just calipers.

I paid about that for Hawkeye WRX 4-pot front's, 2-pot rears, discs pads and fitting kit.
