Default rear 2 pots onto uk 97 classic help

I've been offered 2 pot rear callipers and discs off a 05 plate wrx ppp
my scoobs a 97 uk turbo with solid rear discs with a 160 diff (I've fitted 4 pots on the front already)
the discs are godspeed and nearly new but, will they be a straight fit , or will I need to buy classic rear discs due to the pdc and hand brake shoe sizes?
will I have to remove/modify the splash guards?
will I need the conversion brackets and if so where's the best place to get them ?
thanks in advance

Person who will know is Ian Godney, and he's away until Tuesday.
Alyn at AS Performance probably knows too.

conversion brackets are all you will need to mate the WRX calipers and discs to your car..............

we do conversion bracket kits as does Godspeed i believe

shoes are identical if using the WRX 290mm disc

the rear dust sheild will have to be modifed or removed to allow the diameter change

Rear dust shield is easy: sharp 8mm drill, drill out the spot welds, wire brush and paint with black Hammerite.

Takes all of ten minutes.

Used a hammer and big screwdriver to get the dust shields off mine.
