Default bugeye brake discs

hi all,can anyone tell me which discs and pads to go for, its a 2001 (uk) wrx bugeye.. im looking for a decent upgrade while still using the standaed 4pot fronts and 2pot rears.

is it possable to go for a bigger (in diamiter) disc so it looks better through the wheel or can i not fit bigger than standard size.

also which pads

thanks

I have just bought oem front discs, and Pagid Blue pads for the front, my rears are just standard. I am impressed so far but have yet to hammer them.
Will try next weekend if it is dry

Standard size. You will need spacers, brackets etc to fit bigger discs (£££s more). May as well upgarde to Brembos if you are going that far.

GB ones are very good value for fast road setup.

ah ok, i was wondering if it was possable to get bigger (in diameter) that would look better through the wheel rather than the small standard ones
