Brake pads review and choices

Hi!

I think I have CarboTech Bobcats on my 2000 Impreza.

There works very nice, but soon go.

I am trying to make up my mind to either go to Ferodo DS2500, DS3000 or the CarboTech Panther Plus.

Is they anyone out there that have tried these brake pads that can compare them and which ones are equivalent? Example, are the DS2500 the same as Bobcats?

I have the EJ20 Type R NA engine with filter and HKS Carbon Ti. I am also riding on 205/50/15 R Toyo proxes RA1 R-Compound tires.

Of those, I would recommend the Ferodos. And then I would kindly ask you to post in the "high performance brake pad opinion" sticky.
