It looks like I'm having problem with the calipers on my 2000 Impreza Brighton. I had one serviced this summer because it was jamming and now the other one is doing the same. It is kinda anoying and I don't wanna mess with calipers that will need to be serviced or chnaged every 2 years or so.

 

So I'm just wondering if there's any calipers from another Subaru model that fits right on my car. I'd keep the discs as they are new.

If the problem is corrosion on the slides, perhaps 'upgrading' to 2 pots - or 4 pot front/2pot rear, woiuld be a good idea.

 

You might search/ask this on the appropriate forum at www.nasioc.com also.

i'm seeing 97-2001 impreza's and 97-99 legacies will work. other years/models possible as well, i'm not saying these are the only years that will work.

 

i don't know if ABS or non-ABS makes a difference. i don't know if they all came with ABS or that was an option? as long as whatever you get is the same you'll be golden.

 

it is strange for your calipers to be going out like that. any unusual service of the vehicle? towing, off road, weather? the slides like mentioned earlier should be greased with every brake job, otherwise they may cause sticking. though still strange failure rate for you...two calipers.

 

good luck with getting it fixed.

They're 2-piston, right? Pretty much any legacy or impreza caliper from 97- or 98- on respectively will fit. Obvious exceptions are the STi, 06 WRX, and Legacy GT.

 

What changed for 97/98 is the way the caliper attaches to the bracket. This picture shows the two different brackets (new style is the bottom bracket):
