Question what kind/size brakes

hello I have a 03 subaru wrx with 18" wheels. i am looking at new brakes i am kinda going the cheap way for brakes since i don't need the top of the line bake kit since i am not going to be doing all of the racing and X-cross, and i really don't want to spend $3000 or more on brakes, I was thinking of just getting slotted rotors, new lines, pads, and leave my calipers stock and paint then black.... well i was looking at my stock rotors and there small!! so i am trying to figure out what route i want to go. how do i go by buying bigger slotted rotors and bigger calipers and making sure there going to fit together??? also for rotors and calipers? are there all different sizes for the wrx? or is there just 2 sizes stock and fricken big, or do they go by stages???

would it just be easier to buy slotted rotors same size as stock and use the stock calipers? thanks guys!

one more question!! if i do paint my calipers do i want to use the G2 BRAKE Caliper PaintSystem Set or the spray can. i want a nice clean gloss, that can't really tell if i bought the that way or if i did them

You should probably talk to a vendor and have them help you figure out what type of brake set-up you want to run. If you aren't making too much power over stock, you probably won't need a BBK set-up. If you really want something that bites a little better, you might consider the Subaru 4-pots.
