I'm looking at upgrading my brakes, but dont necessarily want to change my wheels too. Anyone have uprated brake kits on WRX on standard 17" WRX (not STI) wheels? If so, what and how do they perform in comparison to the standard brakes?

Just fitted the Brembo GT kit (2 piece discs) to my 2003 WRX and fits on no probs, and stops like you've hit a brick wall (almost)

I think the AP 330mm 6 pot kit with 5570 caliper fits. Check by printing off template off AP website. On a different planet compared with std 4 pots.

If you have the money go for AP, or ask one of the many helpful ppl that sell through this forum. I have StopTech kit on mine under 17" standard wheels. Thats also a 330mm kit as the AP and many other are.
But FIRSTLY, decide what you want from your car, your way of driving, and where you drive.
If you only do road driving, then you can save a fortune just with some good advice and clever upgrading of your discs/pads.
If you go on track, then really a full upgrade will be better but there are many on here that still track day using only upgraded brakes and have no issues.
I think at the end of the day with most ppl it comes down to money.
As far as i am concerned, money scrimped and saved on brakes in not worth it. You WILL be slower as you have to brake earlier all the time and cannot afford to cook the pads, etc, whereas the AP's and StopTechs, etc will just go all day and take the abuse.
