BRAKE IMPROVEMENT?
I am aware that the WRX is not good in terms of brake performance but I want to keep it standard at the moment.
What's your opinion on the best way to gain some noticeable improvement without spending a small fortune?

Speak to Ian at Godspeed. He will give you the same good advice whether or not you buy from him. I would buy from him though.
Thats my tip.

Put some decent pads in such as ebc, performance friction or carbon lorraine (there not cheap though but will improve brake performance).........

What age of car? Is it a newage? If so will already have 4 pots. If its a classic with 2 pots then the 4 pot upgrade is a good option.
If its already a newage then you can do a few bits. grooved discs, uprated pads, braided hoses, brake master cylinder stopper.
Ian @ Godspeed is very helpful. Give him a bell.

Hi Tony,
As above, it will depend on what year car you have. If yo have Subaru 4 Pot calipers a set of decent pads will be the main component in improving your braking. You can also look at discs, braided lines and good fluid.
Cheers,
