My 24 OBW was suffering from the warped/pad transfer front rotor issue so I swapped them with EBC pads/rotors and they feel and perform great. I had this same setup on my 22 WRX and I was very happy.
I priced out parts at $201 + S&H for premium raybestos rotors and pads at all 4 corners for a 2012 outback 2.5l on rockauto. Will be better than new for less than half the price.
OEM’s suck. My 2023 Outback rotors warped at 20k miles and were turned under warranty.
I did the powerstop drilled slotted rotors thing on my Outback 3.6 which I’d run on the heavy side on family trips. The Gen 4 Outback’s are known to have poor brake performance and I thought it would be a smart upgrade for extra margin. In the end I wouldn’t recommend. More noise, faster pad wear, premature cracking around the drilled holes on the rotors, questionable performance upgrade.
