There are lots of threads about which brake pad to buy for what style of driving. Those pads will be dusty, and noisy. The rating system on tirerack isn't exactly clear - I bought the hawk hp+ pads and regretted it the second I put them on.
As for brembo pads - just...wtf. There is no need to install a stock brake pad after you wear through the OEM pads.
Read, learn, live. Install pads in your car that will accomodate your driving style and braking needs. That could be a $20 pad set from worldpac, or a $120 set from your local tuner shop. W/e the case - they're just pads - and they're easy to replace. Remember to resurface your rotors or replace them if they are under spec thickness, and always break the pads in according to the manufacturers recommendations.

Could try searching and reading. Just a suggestion.

Yea those stoptech pads are good, we sell a lot of those as well as the Hawk HPS for our customers with STi's, the Evo 8 and 9 use same pads as the STi.

If you are just DDing on your pads I would say the Hawk HPS or Stoptech Street performace are plenty good.
one of the most important thing to look at when buying pads is the operating temp. If you buy some super crazy track pad you will not be able to use them on the street very wheel because they need to have heat in them before they stop properly.
Basically you want something with a very low minimum operating temp and the higher the max temp the more aggressive the driving you can do with them.
Also don't forget to do proper bed in procedure when installing them.
