Wasn't aware that the STi 3 came with 4-pots, I am now :yeah:
Easiest way to check caliper clearance would be to measure the gap between the top edge of the disk and the caliper. The caliper normally sits quite close to the disk.

You would need at least 8.5mm clearance to get the 294mm disk on and then suitable 99> pads in the calipers.

I thought it was the sti4 that had the 4 pots, i know my brothers sti3 had the very ****e 2 pots on.

I think the STi 3 is a bit of a parts bin scavenger.

Yeah seems that 96/97 were a bit of a mixture
