Depends on what your going to do? Track or just fast road.
Newage have four pots which are pretty good anyway.
You could go for some grooved discs and some better pads.
And also go for some braided brake lines which will help as they don't expand as much as the rubber ones, which in turns make better braking. I'm sure others will help out as well. But maybe in future you could go for some bigger rims. But its all about the money.

i have gone for some red stuff pads, and some drilled and grooved discs.
there are also others out there which are good, depends on how much you wanna spend.
Heres a start for you. Impreza Brake pads and Discs from EBC red stuff, Black Diamond, Tarox G88, Pagid Blue and Pagid Black and Ferodo ds2500 :

Might be best to call them as you might be able to get Scoobynet discount, worth a try.

It was a while back i got them, think the front pads cost me something around 80-90, front discs cost about 100, then rears weren't much cheaper.

Not cheap, but then if you think about it, a lot cheaper then your life, as it could stop you. Like when buying tyres I don't go for cheap. Let me know how you get on.

I don't have any pictures, I can try in the week. (if i have time)

when i had my wrx i put some group N discs and ds2500 pads on the front and the difference was superb.

Try Ian Godney on here he'll do some good prices on some discs and pads and will help you decide what you need.

Hi mate. If you are thinking of selling your original kit once you upgrade just let me know and we might be able to do a deal.

Cheers,

Paul.
