Cheapest option will be a set of front brembos with standard-ish discs and better pads (plenty of options here). Your WRX discs are 297mm, whilst brembo discs will be 326mm. Would be fine for road use like this

If you want to get into trackdays then I'd look at PFC discs and pads for the brembo calipers. Problem is cost - not cheap. I looked at this as as option but found that at about £500 for the discs/pads and £400 for the calipers, I was better off going the K-Sport route for about the same money. The 8 pot 356mm kit is normally about a grand these days (new).

I've had mine a few years and beaten the crap out of them but they don't fade on track, and that's only with EBC Blue-NDX pads. When it comes to track work, nothing really compensates for the disc/pad size imo...
