Not sure how much they're worth. But I've always used Ferodo DS2500's. Nice pad for street and occasional track work.

For my GTR they were like $250. Would be a little more for the Brembo equipped STi's.

ds3000 all the way

when they bite cold they are still better then stock pads,
and they keep biting harder the warmer they get.

use your handbrake instead Tode

2500's or 3000's will be the way to go.

3000s are great for track, but for only street driving they make you batty with the squealing and they will also eat away your rotors faster. For street only look at the 2500s. I use those on my Evo Brembos and are a good product, even on the track (just).
