Default What brake pads do you recomm?end

I need to get some new front pads soon and was wondering what yous are using or can advise.This will be the first set i've had to change since buying the car so haven't a clue which to go for.Its for an 05 STI,just general use pads with the odd bit of heavy poking now and again!Cheers.

Performance friction with OE discs are superb good enough for a few laps at the Ring anyway
