Default Brake upgrade????????

Hi all,
My 2004 WRX PPP is currently running around 300BHP and I have recently fitted a set of HSD coilovers so I'm really happy with the way it goes and handles. What it is desperately lacking in is stopping power. I have the standard 17" wheels and wondered what people think the best upgrade options if I keep these wheels? I do want to use the car for occasional track days and the standard brakes, in my opinion are barely good enough for the road!
Thanks in advance.

Brembo's probably one of the cheapest, although you'd need to upgrade your wheels also, so about £650. But that is used.

Another option could be Godspeed 335mm kit, using your calipers, about 550 quid with your own wheels.

Are you talking about the 'gold' brembos I've heard people talking about? Can you tell me what car they were fitted to as standard so I can search for them?
