Just the front Ian as I will eventually upgrade the calipers but looking for something that will stop the car in the mean time about 200 quid budget.

If you are going to upgrade the calipers, I'd bite the bullet now and go for a set of sti brembos. I've just bought a wide track sti blob and the brakes are night and day compared to the wrx 4 pots.

Get a set of Carbone Lorraine RC5+ pads, or even better Carbotech XP8/XP10. The difference that top-flight premium pads make, compared with generic items is astounding.
