Short answer, oem rotors are not worth it. Brake pads and rotors are one of the areas the aftermarket is great at. I have been happy with Power Stop geomet fully coated rotors. They cost basically the same or a dollar or two more vs the semi coated on rockauto.
I always use centric semi e-coated rotors (everything is e-coated except for the rotor face). I never had issues with them on any car.
Not at all worth it. Go on Rockauto and get ones from a reputable brand like Raybestos or Centric. They’re just as good if not better than OEM for like 1/4 the price.
You can get 4 for the price of one Subaru branded one on rockauto, and that includes known brands like Bosch and Brembo. I personally have used Centric rotors on everything I have owned for a decade now and they do the job just fine.
As others have noted the Girodisc with quality track pads, upgraded brake fluid and RS3 ducts is all that is needed.
Not including labor, I spent like $400 for PowerStop Drilled and Slotted Rotors + Brake Pads for all 4 wheels.
I've also ordered a full set of the EBC USR rotors and will install them myself, same with the splash shield and door seals.
Good but get the coated rotors if you live somewhere with winters. They last me much longer than the uncoated ones.
I have run Centric, Raybestos and Wagner, maybe the Wagner have lasted slightly longer
I do not recommend Zimmermann, while they work ok for a lot of people, i had a lot of problems with the rotors.
