I have the same car and went through alot of research when I had to replace mine.
Don't bother with the geninue Subaru ones, some companies seem to be cashing in on the fact they are hard to get hold of. I won't mention any names.
I bought mine off ebay so will dig out the guys name. Before anyone shouts cheap rubbish, they are not.
Have had no issues with them.

Hi
The only ones we can get are original Subaru dealer ones , not cheap at around £160 a pair , the discs are 290mm , with a 190mm handbrake , and the discs are solid not vented.
I remember when scoobylou get hers from someone on ebay , I searched and couldn't find the supplier , and PM'd her to find out who the supplier was so we could add them to our range , but never got a reply from her.
If you do find who it was , and I have just searched ebay again but there is no one advertising solid ones only vented , I would be grateful if you could say
Cheers Ian

Hi
The 290mm discs were only fitted to the rear f a version 1 , 2 and 3 type R , so the market is very small , I can get the later version 4 and 5 type R vented rear discs , as the market is so small , the disc manufacturers aren't interested in making limited number discs.
Hopefully scoobylou will come back with more info

Hey found my delivery note.
It was from Brake Depot Limited, Chatsworth Avenue, Brampton, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, S40 3JU.
I went for the grooved rear and I have had no issues.
I will see if I can dig out the name of the person I spoke too, he gave me so much help and advice, I couldn't fault him!
