Default Wagon - brakes upgrade

Hi Guys
Looking for some advice on upgrading brakes on my 1996 WRX wagon import. I’d like to stick with the original calipers as they’re in pretty good condition, what upgrades options I have for discs, pads? Braided hoses worth it?

cheers.

speak with ian @ godspeed and he will sort you out, yes braided lines will help along with fresh fluid and possibly a caliper refresh/rebuild if needed

again get ian to do them and he can powder coat them any colour you want. he did all 4 of my brembo's last year fully rebuilt and powder coated in bright porsche red. service and communication were faultless, i had new lines/fluid,g-hook discs and performance friction pads aswell
