Default Need standard front discs

Folks, can anyone suggest the best/Cheapest place to get a set of standard front discs for a bugeye WRX? Do any other Subaru discs fit?

Your discs will be 294mm a classics are normally 277mm.
If your just looking for cheap ones have a look on ebay. theres a guy does them for around £50 a pair.

WHY would anyone recommend cheap brake parts, let alone use them?

Your car is a PERFORMANCE car. The brakes are the only thing that stops it.

Fit the best you can afford.

Cheers folks, I got a standard set on there now. I had to eliminate brake problems hence the need for a cheap set. The KAD calipers and AP discs didnt stop the car. Its all sorted now

Alyn, maybe the pistons were seized/fouled. The calipers were past their best and the back side of the discs had quiet a big lip in. The standard ones stop the car so will do for now
