WRX rear brakes are essentually the exact same rear brakes we have. The only exception to that is if you have an n/a sedan. Then the caliper piston size is 1.374" instead of 1.5".

We are talking about the rear brakes.

The rear brakes are the same diameter as the OEM Legacy turbo brakes, and there's lots of caliper clearence with the stock setup. They should clear without problem.
