Default Help with brakes - 2005 WRX 2.0

Hi guys.

Recently bought a 2005 (55) 2.0 WRX.

My o/s calliper is sticking on and im looking to get it sorted.

Its the red callipers that are fitted. N/S has been replaced with WRX PRO calliper so im looking to replace that with gen subaru unit aswell.

Bit short of cash justnow so was going to buy a working set off of ebay.

Bit confused as to what fits (This is my 1st scooby so I dont know too much about them yet).

As far as im aware its 4-pots on the front and 2-pots on the back??

Will any impreza 4 pot calliper from after 1998 fit the front?

Thanks in advance...

The WRX-PRO caliper although not genuine, is likely to be much newer than your sticking one. The previous owner probably used that to replace the other one that was sticking. Its always good to replace brake componements in pairs, so it was a bit tight of the previous owner to do that.
