Will GC8 4pot calipers fit my JDM BH5 GT spec B?

[JontaK]

I couldn't find a thread that covers this question so here goes:
I drive a GT spec B BH5 Wagon -99 and thinking about upgrading the brakes and I had the four pots on my GC8 Impreza STi Type R, they worked really good so I thought about getting a set of used ones.
Can I swap my standard front discs and 2-pot calipers for the 4-pots from the late model GC8 WRX/STi (among others)?

I would really appreciate a quick answer as my discs are warped as hell and I use the car as a daily driver.

(Excuse the bad english, Swedish schools ain't that good! :grin: )

Yes, they fit. In fact a lot of people over here (Japan) put them on, and later models even had them as an option.

just make sure to get the appropriate size rotors

Thanks for the fast answers guys!

I've still got the rotors from my old STi laying around in my garage, when I
compared them to the discs from my GT-B they looked like a perfect match.
If I remember it correctly, that is.
I think they both are 294mm in diameter and 24mm wide but it would be great
if someone could confirm those numbers.

Non-Brembo 4-pots:
294x24mm fronts,
290x18mm rears
