Does anyone have good/bad experiences of using either Camskill.co.uk or Japarts.co.uk or any others for standard brake discs? Car is an 03 Impreza WRX and after 91K on the original discs I think I need some new ones.

91K on one set of discs is impressive on one of these cars. I'd say you would be ok using either of the above suppliers.

Try some EBC GDT Turbo grooved/dimpled rotors or the quieter multi-slotted only Ultimax rotors and redstuff pads for very similar if not same money as OEM replacements. If you drive you car enthusiatically (although maybe not as you've squeezed over 90K miles on original set) you might want Yellowstuff pads instead but either way better than OEM braking and can work out a much cheaper depending where you go. Camskill do EBC and i've always found Camskill to be excellent on price for many parts, specially tyres, with great service and usually very quick delivery.

Red stuff pads are borderline dangerous under normal road usage. Even EBC tell you when you buy them to be very careful when they're cold during track usage. I'd only ever recomend green stuff pads for a road car. I'd agree with your choice of discs though.
