Looking at getting DBA T2 rotors for the Outback but need a knowledgeable person to guide me on what I can fit with stock calipers. I have a feeling 294mm and 290mm diameter are going to be too big. Will I have to go for around 170mm?
2001 Outback brake options?

If you are leaving the calipers, then the OEM diameter is the only option.
TBH if you use the money for the rotors towards a set of GenIV GT-B or 30RB 316mm calipers and rotors, you will be better off.
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

No dogbones needed for the front brakes (316mm) but you do need 17inch rims.

A mate has a set of GTB calipers he's wanting to sell. I can ask him cost if your interested.

The rear rotors will be 290 solid, standard 4 cyl outback.

OEM diameter is 294/290 mm.
Just be careful - rears are 10mm solid, not 18mm ventilated like the B4 (Though I'm assuming that the rear calipers are different -- maybe they're not and you can run 18mm ventilated ?).

The rear vented disc type caliper (B4/H6) is different to the solid type caliper.
