Well I guess I learned something here. If this is accurate, then I'd guess that n/a front brake pads should work.

Sorry to tell you that question is pretty much the same as "what are some of the good rolex watches (or diamond rings, armani suits, alligator skin boots, etc.), but with decent price? As far as I know, all of the big brake kits (Brembo, Stoptech, AP Racing, Rotora, etc.) are fairly pricey. Think of it this way - why would you want something "with a decent price" when it's literally the one system on your car that you will need to save your life...over and over again?

There is one relatively affordable option, for almost any street / autocross / roadracing scenario: brake ducts. This will absolutely 100% for sure improve your overall braking performance and longevity.

On the other hand, if you're only considering a big brake it for looks, then my sincere advice to you is to save your $.
