It depends. Meaning that Subaru did something funky where some of the Late Model 2002's come with 2003 Rear Brakes, while some of the Early model 2003's, came with 2002 rear brakes. The long and the short is that you will need to take the wheels off and see exactly which brake pads you have on your car. I was down at Gruppe-S and they told me to check it myself as even the VIN number might not help you determine which ones you are running. It's really not too hard and takes all of like 5-10 minutes to get the car in the air, take off the wheel, check, put the tire back on, drop the car down, tighten back up and good to go.

I believe the fronts are two different animals, but not interchangable, but I could be wrong about that one.
