I am resurrecting this thread because I continue to like these pads and the prices have actually come down. Auto Parts Warehouse currently has the best prices with free shipping on orders over $50, and if you do a search on Google for 'auto parts warehouse coupon' there are $10 codes for over $200 orders as well as others for different $ values.
I just paid $203 shipped total for fronts and rears for the STI.
These are the only pad I ran all last year, street, track, and autocross even in the wet. Absolutely amazing flexibility, performance, consistency and longevity.
If you are not tracking your car, they are not the best choice (try the Greens), but no other pad I have used works remotely as well across all these uses.
I actually like them at autocross once I got used to them. they were very predictable from run to run.
If you don't want to change pads between events, this is the pad IMHO.
