Best is AP Racing. Best value 2-part discs plus 4-pot calipers is Godspeed. There's several weeks of reading if you run a search.

I have black diamond multi discs on the front with the new ceramic red stuff pads.
They are really good and highly recomended.
I have a 98 classic too, but run 18's.
Hope it helps.

Have you tried Grade A subaru mate, you might find some 2nd hand 4pots on there. I think you'll be wanting to upgrade your calipers as they're gong to be the weak link irrespective of what discs and pads you use. With regards to the discs and pads, Godspeed or DBA and Pagid blacks and Ferredo (sp?) are highly regarded.
