My driving is similar, I've been advised Mintex 1144's and some braided hoses (Goodgridge are fine for 50quid-ish). Good bite from cold and can handle the heat when you thrash it a bit. A member of our club did a track day with them and they were just beginning to fade slightly by then end, which is harder than I'll drive on the road. Not sure how dirty they are tho.

Got DS2500 on a 335mm Hi-Spec conversion with bigger 4 pots and have to say they are awesome, was running redstuff before which were ok but these are in a totally different league

Another vote for Pagid RS421 pads, good bite from cold, but do not fade when pushed, work well with grooved discs.

Would have to be "black" then ! 
Will probably try a track day at some point, but it's not likely to be more than an annual event - can't afford it !

Since I'm fickle
Ran both Pagid RS42-1 Blacks and just changed them to Ferodo DS2500's not much difference between the two.
Both great pads and work well from cold.
People find the DS2500's dirty but I found the Pagids, on standard discs, to be more so then the DS2500's with DBA slotted discs.
Anyway got then from Alyn top bloke, top service
Just to add running Goodridge lines and Motul brake fluid as well.

If its the 'SUBARU' monogram fronts then they are 4 pots with 294mm discs, think they are sliding calipers rear possible 266mm solid or vented model dependant. Not too sure regarding rears without 2 pot
Pads are Pagid RS42-1 Black not to be mistaken with RS42 Blues.
In fact just ring stockcar he'll tell you what you need

Think it was late MY98 or early MY99 cars.
2 pot rears on UK's started on the bugeye's or 22B Type UK if people are going to be picky
Note 22B, Type R and UK 2pot rears are all 290mm but are all different to accommodate different diff's offsets etc.
