I'd say email clive from power brake and explain what disks you already have and what you are gonna use the car (like track days etc.) and see what he can recommend you. I think that would be your best bet for some good advice.

Green Stuff light cars <200 hp
Red Stuff Heavy Cars >200hp
Yellow Stuff = Awesome but dont make for s13
So red stuff it is, btw who calls pads "stuff"

Yes they do but are quite pricey, get quarter mile to give you the price so you make sure that is what you pay for them.

Phoned Quartermile
Red Stuff R1023
Green Stuff R900
The guy told me the red ones dont work well when cold but for heavy street and the odd track will be the better one of the two.
for normal driving the green ones.
