Short backstory:
I have a GT86 2014 - ZN6AL. Recently the rear RH brake got stuck and burned out the pads and disc, so I had to replace both rear disks, pads and also the stuck guide bolts (slide pins). Guide bolts were a pain to find - mechanic found only Subaru Tribeca ones looked same only slightly longer - he cut them and they fitted, but there were only two of them - for one wheel, so he left LH same, they were in normal condition. Unfortunately after disk and pad replacement the LH brake is now stuck and I don't want to burn out new brake pads and disk. Basically car is now standing...

I need stock guide bolts and piston replacements now for rear LH brake and it's not possible to find ones in Baltics for GT86... unless dealership, which wants 170 euros for it (entire brake caliper 650euros)...

Ordering from Japan is an last option, because the car will be standing for several weeks until it comes and still quite expensive - around 100 euros...

Question:
Does Subaru BRZ have same brake calipers? Will guide bolts and piston fit? Because I found brake repair kits for BRZ in my country (Estonia) with all needed and good price.

Or perhaps some other Toyota/Subaru models have same brake calipers? Like the Subaru Tribeca?

Really appreciate your help!
