Who made the recommendation to change them? Have you looked at them yourself or got a second opinion.

If you haven't done so already, look at second hand Brembo calipers that are being sold with pads and discs.

For what you would pay for new discs and selling your WRX four pots you could easily upgrade.

They wont - you'll need a set of STI wheels or 18's that specifically mention clearing brembos

I got some discs and pads from Graham Goode via ebay, nothing fancy but for £60 + £10 P&P they work fine.

Try Brake Parts Superstore (UK)

I just replaced discs and pads all round on my Classic for £144 including postage.

Service was excellent.
