Starter motor Denso or OEM Subaru

I just bought a new Denso Remanufactured starter from Rock Auto for my Type S. I even broke the thing and they sent me another one before even seeing it.

Honda/Acura OEM starters are very quality parts (manufactured by Denso), and typically when they stop working it's just a ~20 dollar brush kit and some elbow grease to get them up and running again. Definitely better than aftermarket replacement parts.

Denso does make re-manufactured starters for that model but they are a bit pricey.

The Denso part number for the starter is: 280-6006. Do not use a generic one from the parts store. Denso is the only brand I would use for starters.
