Such as a 2.5RS wheel.

So far I know the Subie 4 pots fit, what else?

The Baer kit should fit.

I have seen the Perrin Wilwood Kit fit under the 98RS gold wheels just fine.

I believe that there are not that many kits out there that will fit under the 16's. So far I only know the subaru 4 pots to be the most versatile.

Um the Subaru 4 pots will fit behind the 2000-2001 RS wheel, but NOT the WRX wheel, just so you know, but the Wilwoods will fit behind both to my knowledge!

Front:
AP racing 4 pot kit (rare, and expensive)
4 pot kit that rallyperformance.com now sells (I forget which caliper they use now)
Subaru 4 pots
Wilwood 4 pots (dynalite)
308mm Godspeed kit (Scoobynet did a group buy on these about a year ago or so, I could never get Ian to respond to my inquiries, but maybe he's more responsive now?)
Tarox 310mm / 6 pot kit
iON Performance 4 pot kit

Rear:
Outback rear conversion
Legacy Turbo rear vented conversion
Tarox 318mm solid disc conversion (stock caliper)
Tarox 318mm vented disc conversion (stock Legacy Turbo caliper ... not 100% positive on this one fitting 16x7)
Perrin wilwood 2 pot rear
STI 2 pot rear kit (not directly bolt-on)

Note that the Wilwood 4 pot rear that goes along with the Superlite caliper 6 pot front does NOT fit under the 16x7 subaru wheels.

Those are the one's I know of that you can buy right now. The Baer kit if it ever becomes available.

Rallyperformance sells scoobysport kits.

The old kit they used to have was AP discs and Brembo calipers, but since scoobysport switched (right before i was about to make a purchase for the Brembos), rallyperformance switched. Even though their site shows the Brembo's still, Rally Performance doesn't have them anymore. The calipers are 6pots made by KAD. The discs are still AP.

And so, this is all true. 305mm AP discs with a 6pot KAD caliper.
Nice but expensive($2500 list.)
