Hii there yamadoriruss and welcome to TorqueCars. I didn't think they put drum brakes on the rears of imprezas! Ah well. The later turbo models have discs all round so it would make sense to get a set from that and fit them to your car. Expect to completely redo the entire braking system.

Here is an idea, put your front disks on the rear and then upgrade the fronts with bigger disks.

Welcome to TorqueCars! Make sure you have a big budget for a new brakes system.
