 I say Porterfield R4-S, unless you can't or won't spend $100 on pads, then get HPS.

 I dunno.  In 2001, the Ultimates were probably the best affordable pad out there that fit the WRX.  'Course the only other pad that fit the car was the old-formula Greenstuff that demolished rotors.  But still, I was really happy with the performance of the Ultimates for street/autocross.  You just have to be proactive in keeping your wheels clean.
