It's hard to recommend anything because looks are a personal preference. Have you looked at DBA X-Gold rotors.
Also have a look at DS Performance Ferrodo pads.

Please call MRT to confirm, which you could have done in the time spent typing the above. Sorry, one mistake I made, it was actually $2450.
No link sorry, they take a bit of time to respond to emails too, I'm guessing they have a lot on.

Cheers
Just confirming front or **front and rear**

Will call later today but I want to check what you were offered.

That's not what they quoted you. The price is too low (particularly for MRT).

so we have two completely different offers from people who've evidently actually called them...

and MRT wonder why people seem to get annoyed at miscommunication that occurs.

I was told 2450 supply only, I went in person. Either way 5k isnt 2450 front and rear. But i dont think anyone with half a clue was expecting that

Another thing to consider is the cost of ownership now & into the future. Typically Toyota brake setups last years & don't chew up discs/pads if you don't thrash the braking system. Not sure about the Subaru WRX disc/pads tho. The 86's system is already pretty good. I know some cars chew thru pads & discs like there's no 2moro. Be mindful of that.
