Default quick brake caliper question

Would a set of 4 pot front calipers currently fitted to a classic Turbo fit a 2002 bugeye?

Thanks

Hi. I'm running 4 pots from 2005 Impreza on my Classic, so I'm pretty sure it will work the other way round as well :-)

Some of the keen eyed would be able to tell they are from a classic, as the classic has the raised Subaru lettering, and the newage has a flat caliper face with Subaru stickers.
Just make sure your pistons are OK too.

Almost right , up to about 2005 the WRX's all had the embossed calipers , it was around this time they changed to a sticker

Other than the obvious cast, is there any difference in the callipers, Ian?

Newer lighter or anything?
