i own a 51 plate 2001 impreza hatchabck (estate) 2.0 turbo awd classic model, having problems with brake discs. can anyone tell me correct fitment diameter size of my car? im told it could be 277,293 or 295mm??? help please.

Wotcha and welcome - It can be true dependant on the calipers that have been fitted

 

According to the EBC site you should be looking at 294 for the front and 266 or 290 for the rear

thanks jay, on all sites im looking at front discs sizes are 293 and 295mm, no listing for 294mm would either of these sizes fit as talking mmetres here?

You should be fine with either - for peace of mind get a wheel off and see how much space there is between the top of the caliper and the disc, there should be a few mil clearance.

i had the 2 pot brakes on mine with the speedline prodrive 17" rims on, brake clearance was fine, i then got the 4 pot bug eye brakes, calipers and discs fitted, i now have to run a 5mm spacer to clear the wheels, i have gained a fair chunk on the calipers though

 

if your still unsure theres a guy near me that builds scoobies and is well known in subaru circles for his services, you can call him on
