Default Fozzie brakes on a v3 wagon

I was working on a 57 plate Forester turbo at work the other day and when I looked at the brakes they measured up to roughly 295mm and looked very simular to mine as in looking (2pot), mounting (carriers) etc . My motor is a 97my v3 2000 turbo wagon and calipers are also 2pot etc... Both cars are running on 17" wheels. Would the Forester discs, pads and carriers fit mine as mine if i'm right are 260mm, if they would fit would it be a cheaper upgrade than 4pots as i'm on a budget

they should fit but you will need discs and calipers but to be fair i think 4pots are the better choice i swapped mine to 4 pots with godspeed discs and kevlar pads and they are great much more confidence now

Cool cheers mate I can get my hands on 295mm discs for nothing and I saw a set of fozzie calipers on ebay the other day for £30 and thought it might be worth a go but i've just lost my driving licence due to my medical condition so my missus will be driving the car so it's gonna be save up for a set of 4-pots anyway now

just be careful with pad options as from previous experience they are very limited choices in decent material
