Interesting so the plugs should be changed around 30k? Any idea on how long the stock rotors should last or min thickness?

Yup, they have to lift the engine 1cm or so to get the plugs out

I noticed that the maintenance booklet also shows to replace the clutch fluid along with the brake fluid. Is this necessary or just a precaution?

Welcome to the forum, @GabeS ........

I would recommend it be changed, especially if you track the car or live in a humid climate.

The fluid is hygroscopic and if it attracts enough water, the water can rust (corrode) some brake/clutch parts.

Shit, my Subie dealer quoted me $300 just for the tranny fluid. When I asked about doing the diff, bleeding and flushing the clutch and changing the plugs also they said 'Why I would I want to do that? That stuff is good forever.'

Twats. Then you'll take your car in for a warranty claim and they'll say "well it shows here you were supposed to change this fluid at xxxx miles, sorry bye!"
