Best Place to buy OEM 4 pot Front Brakes

I was wondering where the best place to buy OEM front brakes are?

I'm looking to upgrade before the end of the month.
Used it ok too. I need the rotors, calipers and mounting bracket.

I guess I could avoid the rotors too, because the aftermarket is so much better.

Edit: Thanks for the help

Try www.subaruparts.com. They seem to have a good deal on the calipers.

Is one of the cheaper sites, but I thought there were better deals at other sites.

If anyone knows of any please post away.
thanks again

I got the 4 pots for 600. bucks from Pullaylup Subaru in Washington. I dont know what they charge for the rotors. They sent them out airborne and were customer friendly.

That site lists the 4 pots for the 1998-2001 impreza. I assume that they won't work with the '02 wrx ?.

I would imagine that the 4pots that are for the 98-01 RS' should fit on the 02 WRXs. The caliper did not change over the years.

If you have a WRX and you want to get the 4 pot upgrade, you only need the caliper and associated pads.

I guess you'd want the copper washers too, but that might be overdoing it.

The rotor size is the same between the 02 wrx and the Sti standard 4 pot brakes.
