Every place I have looked says that these fit my 2006 WRX, but I am really confused by this. The 2 pistons are larger, but there aren't 4 and the 2 aren't the same. JCWhitney says they are custom fit on their website??? Custom fit??? They look solid, but exactly like the picture in your link, I thought it was a stock photo and I am really confused...If anyone can chime in with anything about this, I appreciate it. Are they a newer model caliper? Are they older? Will they still work okay? I tried calling Powerstop but they are closed today.

P.S. If these do work fine, will I still be able to use the same pads that I would normally order for my 4 piston front calipers or will those pads no longer fit the 2 piston caliper? I only ask because I already have new pads and front rotors on the way.

Thanks

Here is that thread on rebuilding the 4 pots I was writing about.
