Default 98 WRX Brake Caliper Bolt Spacing

Hi all, im looking at alternative brakes for my track car and was wandering what the bolt spacing was on the 98 WRX twin piston brake calipers.

Thanks.

unsure of the spacing but pretty much any front subaru caliper will bolt on, stock 2 pots, wrx 4 pots, sti Brembo 4 pots, Liberty/legacy BIG 2 pots. Most aftermarket kits for the subaru will come with a dogbone pre fabbed.

Bit of a thread hijack, but anyone know if 4 pots of a R33 skyline will bolt on to a subaru?
I have heard they are same calipers with only difference being the branding.

I believe they are the same Sumitumo 4 pot calliper as per the Z32 300zx but the spacing is different front and rear

haha, the brakes won't be going on a subuaru, i want to get them from a subaru and use them (well i'll pick em up tomorrow anyway...) they will be going on an N13 SSS pulsar that i use as my track/street car, the current brakes (GTI-R setup) just doesn't cut it, so these should be a nice improvement all things considered.

i'd personally be looking for some r33 skyline brakes, much cheaper than wrx 4pots, same caliper design/pad size

Agreed the nissan brakes dont bolt onto subies so i doubt subie ones would bolt onto the nissan. I have heard of guys running GTR brembos on pulsars so they must have the same spacing etc accross the board.
