Up-grade on brakes
I have a MY02 and I want to get an upgrade on the brakes. I expect I should be spending about £1500-2000? Can any one recommend a brake upgrade? I have been researching but not sure what to go for brembo, AP etc.?
Would the above price include discs?

Difficult to make any suggestions without knowing your proposed usage SS, but if you're looking at enthusiastic road use on an MY02 WRX, you won't need to spend anywhere near that sort of money.
If all you want is quick road use, you could do a lot worse than the Godspeed 335mm upgrade kit, which uses the standard four pot Subaru calipers remounted and spaced to take the bigger, thicker discs, which are mounted on a separate aluminium bell. The kit comes with Ferodo DS2500 pads for less than £600 IIRC.
Add braided lines and high temperature fluid, and you'll have a system that will be up to anything you're likely to do on the road, as well as enthusiastic track use.

I got the 335 upgrade for my MY02 fwith 17" wheels from Ian Godney (Godspeed) as suggested by Greasemonkey...check for a group buy or just e-mail Ian 
I got some braided hoses as well and they seem to stop pretty well. On Bob Rawle's "private" mapping road they hauled the car back seriously well. I checked the SECS max speed and it was 164MPH but the ECU does overestimate the speed a bit
I went for the Tarty drilled disks which may crack on hard (track) use but do look good. The godspeed kit does increase track so look for more stone damage to the front doors !!

Midlife, the extra track is tiny, a lot of people run with the wrong offset wheels anyway! I think it's about 2mm each side!
I too have the 335mm kit on my my00, they're awesome, get grooved only if you like stopping quickly!!
