You will have to make your own "kit". Probably the easiest way would be to swap the entire knuckle/brake assembly over from a disc car like an RS. You may have to swap fronts too because of brake bias. Not sure though if your fronts are the same as a rear disc cars fronts. Look up the part numbers.
Good luck

I just want to ask if that is a new impreza sedan 2012, if that is a 2012 i think i can help you with the brake thingy. My father's friend is working in a auto shop and i can ask him for you if you want. It'll be glad if i can help you.

I think with some minor modifications, you can swap WRX brakes on there. My buddy said some of the older ones also had disc since he has a 96 with factory disc, so they may be a direct bolt on. In 97 they switched back to drum for some insane reason.

He only wrote ONE sentence and obviously you didn't read it It clearly states 01 Outback Sport which is definitely not a 2012 sedan.
