Default in need of tyre help

The time has come to replace my tyres so in need of some help
The Spec-
1994 Wrx runing just 284.bhp.
handling mods consits of-
Hks hyper coilovers + pillowmounts,
Cusco 6 point roll cage,
Cusco top fr brace,
cusco h-brace
unknown rear top brace,
4pots,
The car is a firm ride.

(will have whiteline arb's fr+rr and drop links after chrimbo!)

its still rolling on 16" wheels so the tyre choice will have to be 205/50/16.

Now to objective and myself-
ideally budget of £80 each wheel.
Now for mystyle of driving I'm type of guy that isnt a speed demon that likes to hit 140mph at every chance
But i do love to throw my car in the corners hard,
i prefer it to over steer move than under
The car isnt my daily driver and will attend 1-2 track days a year and a vist to pod.

Ive tried several types but dont seem to get on with them,
R888s to-noisey
t1r's scrub the edges to fast
yoko c-drive wasnt that good.
kumhos it tended to under steer
fatoys- scaried the crap out of me! (were the tyres i bought the car with)

ive seen the japs are using bridgestone potenza on alot of there classics,
a friend surgested prad spec 2's.

Any surgestions would be greatfull. as dont want to spend £320 on another set of tyres to find there crap

Pay a little more and get some Yoko Parada Spec 2's. Talk to R-tec, they do them cheap. Well worth it.
