If you have a R160 backing plate, it'll bolt right on. But I'm not sure what the USDM WRX comes with.

To make the 2pots work on your car you need the following:

2pot calipers(+pads and hardware)
290x18mm(170) rotors
backing plates from a WRX NB-R, Euro WRX, Aussie WRX etc.

Your current hub has to be pressed out of the knuckle, the current backing plates swapped for the new ones, the hubs pressed back into the knuckles, and your current parking brake internals have to be transferred to the new backing plate. Slide on the new rotors and the new calipers will then bolt right up to the new backing plate.

Oh, by the way, if you get the nuckles pressed, be prepared to pay a pretty penny in labor charges if you don't do it yourself.

I can't remember how much it cost, but it was in the hundreds.
