Um... WRX 2 pots fit as long as you have 16" wheels. 4 Pots, however, I don't think they'll fit without hubs.

They fit. It's the rear 2pot brakes that dont.

Not that I know of. Your best bet will be to get some BBS wheels or something that will fit 4 bot brakes, then buy a big brake kit. Your wheels are too small for 4 pot/2 pot brakes, that's the issue. You're looking at 17" or even 18" wheels for aftermarket 4/2 or 6/2 kits.
If you just want an upgrade, I'd suggest sticking with your stock wheels, and getting WRX front brakes. You get a good upgrade without having to drop serious coin on new wheels, hubs, and god knows what else.

Your stock wheels won't fit over the 4pots. You'll either need wheel spacers or get new wheels.

i know i need spacers all i need to know is if i can bolt the 4 pots to my front hub holes and have it work just fine and if i get the 2 pots in the rear if they will bolt right in, clearance isnt anything to worry about, i can make that happen. i just really wanna know if i can bolt them right in... and i assume i need wrx brakes nad not sti since sti is 5x114.5 and wrx came with 5x100 so that way i could use the right size rotors right ?
