yip i do and they are great,

i had them on my 07 wrx all round,standard 4pots,mintex1155 pads braided pipe and they were awsome mate,
ive changed recently to brembos and have the discs from ian on at the mo but still trying to get a pad that gave me the same feel as my old set up,

i have had the kevlar pads,good pads but very much like the oem pads,
have the new bluestuff pads at the mo and they seem good but as soon as ive worn these out its braketech discs and pf pads for me.

I would personally go to Godspeed for all brakes products, he warrants his own brake discs for one year and that is even if you do track days.

You won't get a better warranty that that.

The kevlar pads will suit about 90 - 95% of driving styles , for harder drivers a better pad would be suitable , if you are happy with the M1155 pads you tried in your old setup , try these again , or the PF pads , both these pads work very well with our discs , you wont need to change the discs to make them better for you.
I carry all makes of pads in stock for a next day delivery if you need them
Cheers Ian

I've had these for a couple of thousand miles now, along with the Kevlar pads, and the only bad things I've noticed over the OEM setup are that they are much noisier.

They tend to make a quiet clicking noise when driving at low speed, and when you brake hard, they make a droning noise.

I guess you'd probably get this with other grooved/drilled disk's though.

The Kevlar pads do seem a little grabbier than OEM during light braking too.
