Dealer parts would be $500.
$250/axle On Rock, I see Centric package for $161. 90647005 Wow that's cheap $12 shipping for 4 rotors and 2 sets of pads. For premium level I only see power stop. Centric only under daily driver |

I literally gave you the exact part numbers to order for a set of Centric Premium Rotors and a set of Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Pads w/ brake hardware with pricing. Since you're concerned with brake feel, you should consider getting a bitier pad compound though which is why I recommended EBC Redstuff. They are NOT racing pads (in fact, they are not safe to take on a track at all just like most street pads), but they are bitier than OEM pads. |

CENTRIC 12047031 Rear Rotor (30.79) x2 These are listed under "Daily Driver" and not "Premium" I don't want "regular" if they are gonna be poor quality. I can spend more, but $85 at the dealer seem like a scam, that's all I don't exactly want "bite", I just don't like any pedal softness. I feel there is a tad more pedal travel than I prefer. So, after flushing the fluids, I am willing to try new pads/rotors. Rotors are scored with a lip, so maybe that's not ideal. |

A rental SUV has better brake feel. My other performance cars have a rock hard pedal with minimal travel |

This car is not your other cars, Subarus have a squishy pedal and are notorious for it. If you don't want to make changes, why are you asking for our advice? I'm not trying to come off as a prick ( ok, maybe a little) but it's tough to make suggestions when you're not open to anything.

The Centric Premium rotors will work well for you. They certainly won't add to a soft pedal. I've used them on my daily drivers for years on multiple cars...they're a good OEM quality replacement.
Hawk HPS 5.0 and Stoptech Sport are good + cheap pads that are a little more aggressive than stock but still definitely not race pads. There are others that work well, those are just 2 that I have used on my own cars. ATE or Motul 600 fluid works fine for a fun street car. A master cylinder brace does help pedal feel, but it's not going to make a stock pad feel like a high friction race pad without any of the drawbacks on the streets. You might like it a lot though. I use the Grimmspeed MCB. Let me know if you need any help I can put together a package for you. - Andrew |

If you want to buy the same exact item and support a vendor in the community, you can buy them at a higher price on CounterSpace Garage, and they say "Premium" in the description... https://www.counterspacegarage.com/c...frs-gt86-front https://www.counterspacegarage.com/c...-frs-gt86-rear Still cheaper than OEM. |

You can also buy them through Tire Rack although it's a little more difficult to make sure you're getting the right part...
https://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brak...odClar=Limited https://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brak...odClar=Limited I'm happy to help you, but when I've literally given you the part number for the exact item I'm talking about and you tell me that I don't know what item I'm referring to, you should understand that's a bit frustrating. Either you know more than me and you don't need my help, or you don't, and when someone is kind enough to provide you literally exact part numbers for everything you need you should maybe listen with a little bit more respect. |
