I just replaced mine a couple months ago with a Godspeed Aluminum Radiator off amazon for about $175. Installation is pretty straight forward; disconnect the hoses, disconnect the electrics for the fans, and remove the radiator and put the new one in and reconnect everything.
The cheapest tires I trust are Kumho.
It's an '09 2.5 Special Edition auto. Likes: Fairly \"sporty\" feeling. Lots of features for what it's costing me. decent stereo. Cons: weak engine. drivers seat doesn't go back far enough. armrest is awful. fuel economy sucks for a car this size. crappy stock tires.
For the rotors I went with Brembos they were like $120 pair of fronts and the rear I had OEM rear drums they were $150 a pair. I got a pair of Axxis Organic pads like $49 a pair.
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.
IMHO, the brakes are also awful.
