What type Impreza is it? What model year?

I sold my standard front brakes and upgraded to K-Sports. It stops better now

Buy a 2nd hand set of Brembo's and fit those, by the time you buy better pads then maybe new disks cause the pads weren't good enough you could of just fitted a set of Brembo

Another vote for these, or Ferodo DS2500's from the same place.

Ferodo DS2500 will make a substantial difference if you want to retain the original calipers.
If you go for Brembos, you may have to change your wheels as some Subaru fitments do not clear them.
A decent set of discs DS2500 pads, DOT 5 fluid and braided hoses will tidy braking up nicely

Waiting for my 8 pot ksports with ds2500's. Can't wait. People always say spend on brakes but there's always that nag in the back of your mind. I'm not sure what it is. I've been so focused on enhancing forward motion that anything that takes away speed seems wrong. We'll see.

You could get £150+ for your existing breaks, add to that the cost of some pads and you're well on your way to some K-Sports! They fit behind my standard 04 WRX alloys when I still had them, i'm sure they'd be able to tell you if they would fit yours
