Don't spend stupid money on them. if you have a good set of front pads then you can get away with a standard set on back. i'd go for a set of Ferodo DS2500s which will set you back £74 from scoobyworld.
have these on the front, amazing improvement over the crap i had on before.

sorry to burst your bubble but you cant have ds2500 for a Bremboo equipped STi at £74......what you most likely have is ferodo DSPF which is a mild fast road pad and often mis-sold/described as ds2500...........
far different materials!!
as for the rear pads personally i always advise you fit as near matching compounds front and rear as this gives a better o/all balance under harsh braking

I did think they seemed a little cheap because I paid about £220 delivered for my fronts. The fronts are FRP3067 in material H which according to this are DS2500.
I havent ordered any of the rears yet but they looked genuine enough. A couple of places sell them for between £74-77 with the product code FCP1562H which according to Ferodo are a Brembo fitment in DS2500 material. Unless they have listed the product code incorrectly I cannot imagine that they'd get away with miss selling them.

sorry that IS the correct part and about right on price (although they can be had cheaper, particuarly the fronts)..........it was your post talking about running them on the front and then std on the back that misled me...........

the thing about running standard pads on the back was something someone told me but I stand corrected. at only £74 for a set of rear ds2500s i'd get them anyway. the fronts have been amazing and i've definitely pushed them.
