Stock pad material
What are the stock Brembo pad's material for an 06 STI?
Here's a web site that discusses some concerns regarding the use of different pad materials.

When switching from Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads to semi-metallic brake pads (something we do not recommend), you will need to wear through the layer of carbon that the PFC pads have deposited in the rotor surface. The new pads won’t grip well at all, until this layer of carbon is removed.
