Bug Impreza WRX

I am looking for advice on upgrading the standard brakes on my 2001 Impreza WRX.

What are the best options?

Brembo from the STI is the best upgrade for a wrx.

Depends upon your budget. You'll need STi wheels ideally or wheel spacers at the very least with the Brembos. I have some AP Racing calipers that fit behind WRX on my 2002 WRX.

The car had 18" BBS wheels when I bought it. I'm thinking the STI Brembos will be the best option for me.

18's should be fine. 17's not so sure because of the clearance

3m spacer normally works with the WRX wheels

Plus they look cool
