Assuming that you are not sorted already. The 4pot Callipers and disks from the STi4/R were used by Subaru for the 99 onward UK cars. So if you ask for a set of My00 fitment pads you should be ok.

Theres loads of choice, from EBC redsuff through Mintex to DS2500's.

depends what you use the car for but we normally recomend ds2500 or Pagid rs4.2.1 for normal/ fast road use........with rs4.2 or even rs15 if you're very aggressive on the brakes or into track days.......
mail me if you need any advice / prices

I had a set of RS15 pads with groupN disks from AS Performance. Not too good when totally cold but only took a few corners to warm up enough and as long as you are aware that they need warming up it's not a problem.
The pads were Ok with standard discs until I took the car on track. The pads were excellent but one of the discs ended up with a massive crack in it!

Edited to say I have nothing to do with AS Performance, just a happy customer!
