what 4-pot+ calipers fit stock 16"s?

I really want to be able to run sleeper on my stock wheels.... Anyone know of aftermarket bigger brakes that'll fit? I wonder what the rally guys use.
I already have sti brembos in the back which means my rear rotors are bigger than the front! It actually has great feel like this, but on race tires at the track they fade too easy.

Oh vast pool of subaru knowledge... educate me.

There is a new Wilwood 4-pot set up that'll fit the stock 16's. I think one of the magazines mentioned it.

The RacingBrake BBK kit is priced fairly well too. Don't know else about them though. I think SD has them listed on their website. Probably should check the RacingBrake site for more info.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but get the MY01 and below RS wheels and get the Subaru 4 POT.

These wheels are 16x7s so they'll fit the 4 POTs, which the 16x6.5s stock '02 wheels won't.

yes they do, but you can get a much nicer set of 17s for a lil more.. like i did.. i have 3 sets ...either way itll cost about the same if you bought subie 4 pots then got rs wheels.. or just got the racingbrake 4 pots and stuck with the stock wrx wheels...

These will fit: 16x7 RS wheels




5x100 bolt pattern, with Hankook snow tires. Rims in very good condition, no curb rash, only a few small nicks maybe, missing one center cap, tires have lots of tread life left. Tires kick butt in the snow.

Asking $400.

but with the MY01 and below RS wheels, you can get wider tires that fit better on the wheel as it adds an extra .5" width so 225/50/16s look much better on the wheel.

And if you're going with 17s might as well get the LGT brake kit.
