Default need new discs but don't want to spend a fortune

recently bought a 99 2000 turbo uk after deciding that i wanted somthing more reliable than cossies . the cars remapped to 270 but the discs are warped what i want to know is is there any difference between wrx and sti discs than just a 2000 turbo? and if so what would you suggest for replacement. any help would be appreciated as need to do it soon because braking at speed is all over the place cheers

A UK Turbo 2000 will be on 4-pots. So you want 295mm discs on the front. I get mine from here normally

I would go for some upgraded discs over standard, grooved with decent pads, godspeed, as performance etc will do these, they are not exactly cheap (considering the oe parts cost 50-60 quid) but are far better at stopping you (note you will possably have to inform your insurance co if you go for uprated parts).
