I believe AP Racing pads (and rotors?) fit in Kido calipers.
Would be more keen to see a 6 pot vs 6 pot test tbh..Not many of us are likely to shell out for the 8 pots I wouldn't have thought..

8 pot bit excessive for the road, for most of us anyway |

6 pots on a Liberty located in Perth. 4 pots on the rear.

are you joking? Given the right pad and fluid combo, standard brakes are more than adequate for all street/skid pan work and the majority of track work the average enthusiast would do

Well my last car was a dc2r with 4 pot upfront so going from that to the standard Wrx brakes, you can understand why I don't think they cut the mustard

Hell I even pounded wanners on 2 pot gtb brakes with no issue. Fluid and pads are as, if not more important than caliper and rotor combo.

Yes, what size rims are you running?

Then there is the question of what to test. The pedal pressure, the stopping distance, from how fast, how many times, the "feel" etc. Having said that I still would love to see an independent test with video if possible. I don't have a lot of experience with before and after testing of cars, but I can say that (as you would expect) going from stock MY09 Forester (same as MY08+ WRX) brakes to the 356x32 8 pots made a HUGE difference, and on a VE Commodore it was more than huge. The VE has the worse stock brakes I can remember driving, except maybe the EH (1964) I had once, with 4 wheel drums.

That Commodore looks like a tight squeeze!

Test a STi with standard brembo brakes and the same model sti with KiDo brakes. Both cars use the same pads. Both cars use the same tyres (brand and size). Both cars use the same new brake fluid. Measure 100-0kmh distance. Measure temperatures. Or measure how many repeated attempts you can have until fade is introduced. That's it. Definite proof of which setup is better. Don't bother testing against things like S206 brakes as we can't get a S206 locally. If you change pad compounds on the different setups that will negate all testing. If you change tyres that will negate all testing.
