cosworth dont make brake components (or air filkters, etc. for that matter) - these are most likely rebranded AP components............

You will also pay a premium for the name Cosworth over AP

Those look like rebranded stoptech. I have also seen rebranded AP's that look similar like the ones on the Impreza Cosworth.
