Dead easy mate, take the old ones off and fit the new ones, you will need discs and pads to suit the 4 pots. Don't do what I did and fit the calipers the wrong way up the bleed nipple needs to go to the top.

Not sure about the rears but they don't do that much work so should be fine.

Have you thought about going for some STI Brembo's on the front? I know someone who is selling a full set.

The subaru 4 pots are better that the two pots, but the sti front brembos are the way to go for the money and not much dearer than the 4 pots second hand.

Is it recommended to change the brake master cyclinder from a later car if you are upgrading your 2 pot to 4 pot brakes?
