5th generation Subaru Impreza brake pad and rotor job using 2017 Impreza Limited. This process of disassembly and tools needed should be same among all 17-23 Imprezas and 18-23 Crosstreks. May apply to other Subaru models as well.
Even with a VIN, aftermarket parts stores may not know your Impreza's front rotor size and will tell you about two size options.
If you have Base/Premium/Limited: 277mm rotor
If you have Sport: 294mm rotor
Rear rotor size should be same across all models of Impreza & Crosstrek these years.
Note: Though same platform, I can only guess about front rotor size(s) on 2018-2023 Crosstreks. If someone can comment on those I would appreciate it!
