Subaru Brakes 2-pot rear
Does anyone know where I can get the part numbers for the Subaru 2-pot rear brake calipers? I have been searching for this part number for a while now and have not been successful.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

You DO realize that in order to make the rear 2-pots work you will need a WHOLE LOT more than the calipers, don't you???
It 'aint just an easy swap.

Yes I know, but if I have the part number I can order the calipers directly from Subaru.

For a street car it is a HUGE waste of time, effort, energy, and money to do Subaru 2-pot rears on a WRX, IMHO(and many others).
Most people are real happy with the 'H6' rear swap(cost ~$225 in parts, new), but if you MUST....check ravensblade.com
There is lots of good info there.
Check some of the vendors too, ordering from Subaru may cost more than from a vendor. If you are talking about the rear USDM STi Brembo brakes then be prepared to spend even more to make them fit/work.

I am looking for the "Subaru" 2-pot brakes, not Brembo. I know that this information is hard to come by and some people do not like to share information with other enthusiasts, but I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks

When I want to be scolded like a child, I will call a dominatrix. I know many people that have done this mod, and I wouldn't exactly call it a stupid idea as the WRX comes with these brakes in Japan and Europe. But thanks for the narrow-minded comment.

If you are not going to race the car it is, IMHO, a waste of money(and everything else) to do the Subaru 2-pot rears. There is VERY little to be gained over the H6 rear conversion, anyway...and IF you are going to race the car, for the same or even LESS $$$, you can get BETTER rear brakes....so doing the 2-pot Subaru rears on the USDM WRX is, IMHO, a STUPID thing to waste time, effort, energy and money on for little or no benifit and the use of non-standard parts makes maintenance a headache as a result as well.....
SO....when the pros and cons are all put out on the table and everything is considered......the Subaru 2-pots in the rear are a waste.
PS...I researched this whole WRX brake bit for almost a year before I came to this conclusion, so it really is an informed conclusion, not just an uninformed opinion.
I have 4-pot fronts w/dba4000 rotors and H6 rears w/dba657 rotors....Bobcat pads in front and Ultimates in the rear(soon to be less grippy pads due to a bit too much rear bias) along with SS lines and Motul 600RBF fluid....
