I was specifically talking about the STi if you pulled your head out of your rear. So tired of people thinking they are the same class of car, they aren't.
Have you even thought about how the tires or even gear selection have to do w/ your braking? Probably not. And if you feel the need to slam the crap out of your brakes to the point where they "aren't good enough for your royal lead foot" then maybe you shouldn't have your license. This is, after all, a street car. The stock pads are fine for daily driving if you don't drive like an idiot, it wasn't made to go drifting and racing around the streets in stop and go traffic like fanboys want it to.
Seriously, are people really this stupid? I guess so...

Dark who are you having a hissy fit towards?
Also, not that I want to start a discussion about this here, but there are people on this board who are coming from Porsches, M3s, AMGs and even a couple Ferraris. I'm sure they could afford "better" cars (since now better means more expensive). Maybe better for most of us means a good platform to modify. If I didnt want to modify anything I would have picked up an M3 and called it a day, but the Z is better for what I wanted to do. It has more potential.
Also, I don't know exactly where you got the idea that the STI is not a direct competitor or in the same class as the Z. Similar performance, similar price, similar target market. The only difference is the power and drivetrain but I don't see how that puts them in two different classes. They "behave" differently, but thats just driving style and what works for each.
I do have to agree that I don't understand the point of getting "the best street pads", however I will say that if I go through my stock pads (as is the case almost already) and I have the choice of going stock or getting something grippier, then I'm going to pick up the grippier set. I guess you didn't think about that. If the guy wants to put Brembo 8 pot ceramic brakes on his car because they look pretty, then whatever, how does that affect you?
So seriously, people aren't stupid and chill out.
