Default Discs and barkes upgrade recommendations?

Hi everyone, I have a 1994(L reg) Impreza wrx. It has standard discs and brakes and I would like to put something a little bit more substantial on it. I don't want to spend mega bucks on them so something mid range would be ideal. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks, Andy.

4 pots from late model imprezas will do the job nicely (i've done it)

£200-£300 depending if they come with discs/pads

Also may need to get a set of wheels from a late model impreza (98 onwards iirc) unless you already have bigger wheels

Thanks for that, was thinking bigger wheels would be needed. I have a silver car so would try and get some dark grey(anthracite) coloured rims. Andy
