Default sti brakes

Hi, I was wondering if anybody could help with a problem i have. Just got a 93 classic jap import wrx with loads of sti stuff on it including front brakes. The discs have now had it and i need to replace them, trouble is i dont know what ones to get. 277mm are to small yet this is what is stated for the year(94). My calipers are 4 pot(i believe) with subaru written on the face and the discs are bigger than 277mm, more like 295mm, but this size is stated to fit 98 - 2005 and all other discs are for later models. Any ideas would be much appreciated as i dont want to order until i gather more information. thanx

If you have the subaru 4 pot calipers then you need the 294mm vented front discs (and some new pads )

yeah, steve all wheels are off but someone put new discs in boot but wrong bloody size and looking to get proper ones online has been a bit daunting to say the least, especially when my car is 93 and is actually classed as 94, so ive just discovered lol. Also they dont list the bigger disc for the 94. Does this mean my brakes are of a 98 ?

the 4 pots come with 294mm where as the 2 pots came with the 277mm.the early version sti came with the 2 pots but most people get a set of 4 pots which usually come of a later car like a 98 to do the conversion as its a straight swap.
