Afternoon ![Smile](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I have a 2002 Forester S-Turbo pretty much just as a play thing which is only driven at weekend or when I need something too big for my Golf GTD. The brakes are pretty lousy when compared to the Gold as the biting point is pretty low and takes some considerable pressure to stop.
If I wanted to swapout the callipers which are a direct bolt on under standard 16" (possibly 17" soon) wheels.

You can move up to the Forester XT front two pot sliders and discs or a lot of people move to the 4 pot newage wrx brakes both will fit under 16" wheels.
Pad choice makes a big difference plus braided hoses.

Along with the appropriate disks they should be OK.

Cheers Don. Subaru is a new brand to me as i've always been a VW type of guy, fitting the callipers isn't a problem. Making sure i get the right ones, thats the problem!
