Hi Black betty... here's the bottom line,.... if the S3 brakes can be purchased and fitted to your car within your budget, then buy the brakes. I've got S3 brakes on my Mk4 Gti, and beyond a dogbone mount, they're the best value mod possible. For performance road applications, the brakes are superb and miles beyond stock Gti brakes.
Pros: superb, best value mod

I have had great success running the Ferodo DS2500 on the rear of the car.
Pros: great success
I got the rear brakes done on my passat yesterday. They did a good job, and I'm pleased with my brakes.
Pros: good job, pleased with brakes

I have also used ebc green in the rear with good results but I am now on Porterfields.
Pros: good results
If you want them even touchier get some upgraded pads. I highly recommend Hawk HPS.
Pros: highly recommended

Subarus in general are frickin' bulletproof. (WRX transmissions aside) I drove a Subaru Legacy 30th Anniversary Edition (2.5 liter, automatic...I think it's pretty similar to the '97 Legacy GT) and it was a surprisingly good drive...good handling and pretty good power...brakes were a bit sucky, though.
Pros: good handling, good power
Cons: brakes were sucky

They replaced the rear pads with LUCAS pads. Are Lucas pads any good?

Volkswagen uses Jurid and Pagid Black compound brakepads as OEM on our Passats. The problem is that these pads take a very long time to correctly bed into the brake rotors. If these pads aren't bed correctly, over time they will wear unevenly on the rotor which causes vibration. That vibration is what causes your brakes to squeal!!
Cons: uneven wear, causes vibration
