My old STI had cheap brakes. Brembo rotors are like $50-70ea. Pads are about $60 a pair.

Yeah, that was normal for even higher-performance cars until, I think, 2008ish where Subaru went to the Brembos on the STI.. and around then (2006 competition package maybe?) BMW went to drilled rotors on the M3.. everyone wants to sell the bling now :)
