The vehicle currently has 4 STI OEM calipers on. The rear left caliper, while trying to take it off, had the bolt snap in it. They tried to drill it out but failed. My question is, if I replace the both left and right rear calipers, will I also have to replace the front ones? Or can I run with 2 front calipers STi oem, and 2 rear calipers from NAPA? Are there any risk or concerns?
*even tho car has 57k miles on it, I already did the 60k maintenance on it about a week ago.**

The napa ones are more than likely rebuilt or built to manufacturers specs you should be fine with either setup.
