Default Which rear discs ?

I havn't decided on a disc make yet, though wanted to know which type/size disc (REARS) to order - for my JDM WRX 2002 but the rear discs are vented not solid, with standard 2 pots. I've seen a listing for an 02 WRX but they were solid type

Hi
All uk 2001 onwards WRX's have a 290mm x 18mm vented disc , with a 170mm handbrake , anyone who lists them any differently has it wrong.

Some imports and US cars have a 266mm vented disc fitted , but its quite rare

Al the parts listed on my web site are correct for your car

Just to add , as you have the 2 pot rear calipers , you will definitely have the 290mm x 18mm vented discs

Ian I'm guessing the 290mm bit comes from the measurement across the disc ? Sorry if it's a dull question !! - thanks

I fitted Ian's rear grooved discs, complemented with kevlar pads. I can recommend them without reservation . Bob

And the fronts also, had a set of grooved discs and kevlar pads all round and they are spot on.
