Thanks for your advice crawl3r, I've changed the tyres to 235/35s so should be ok & i will get 18 inch rims for the track later when I start the engine mods.. Track work is a long way off yet....

The stock brakes are decent brakes and pull up fine. Upgrade the pads if you reckon the brakes suck. Unless you're doing regular track work or have increased your horsepower by a great deal (is it even tuned?) then a brake upgrade is pointless. Then again it looks like you're going the route of cosmetic wank factor.

If you want big rims, stretched tires, stupid camber and bling bling calipers, perhaps join this group - http://www.facebook.com/groups/subaruWA/
You will fit in nicely there.
Wank factor hmmm
I don't think I'll worry to much about comments from someone who's got SIG FAIL on all there posts.. What's that mean?? Some sort of narrow minded nazi crap???

For Coilovers, I highly recommend STD's from Evo R.

Also, any brake upgrade you do do will be completely negated by the rotational inertia of massive heavy rims.
Not to mention the negative effects the rims will also have on acceleration and handling.

However, if you're just after "the JDM look", go for it...
I realise that 19s will increase both the diameter & rolling mass of each wheel effectively reducing power but the WRX isn't exactly power challenged & definitely won't be when I'm finished with it

Thanks mate if the spring /strut setup doesn't work out STD's will be my first choice. From what I'm reading Mao at Evo R does great work

19" rims will look great but if you driving around regularly it won't be scrub free, and cost of the tyres will be interesting, unless you go with the cheapo panda brand.
The thing is with the brakes is Wilwood 6 pot's work out cheaper than AP Sport 4 pots & according to Pro Drive's web site they don't sell brakes for road cars anymore...
