Right on 'pot' is the piston. It also depends how it is laid out. i.e. two pot floating calipers might have both pistons on one side, sitting on sliders so that the caliper can center itself on the rotor when applied. Other fixed caliper styles might have two pistons on one side of the rotor and two on the other side or something like that.

Sometimes the vacuum bleed kits include a small tube of silicone grease to help with the sucking air in around the bleeder issue. For not too much $ I made a homemade setup kind of like Skip's out of an old 10 gallon portable air tank and one of those compressed air powered vacuum pullers from harbor freight.

Good info and insight nipper. Also Subaru in general is a very reliable automaker, so in general their OEM parts are of known good top quality. Now we all know there may be exceptions but in my mind Subaru OEM parts are a good value (when obtained for a good price i.e. Subaru dealers selling parts online). Of if you are talking about particular upgrade parts such as whiteline etc that is a different matter; they are intended to provide a different performance than OEM.
