Quite likely to be brake deposits from the pads. Some pads were renowned for doing this. If you try a hard stomp on them from about a ton then this should help them for a bit.
If you really need new disks then I think the Subaru dealers reduced the prices a few months ago but still cost a fortune.
I think Godspeed can make them too. Whoever made the discs on the Brembo group buy.

If the pads don't "clean up" from stomping on them as suggested, you could well have warped the discs (which means it wont pass its MOT - had this on my Pug which has a big brake conversion) - in which case have a go at getting them skimmed, which will only cost around thirty to forty notes. (obviously if they have become paper-thin this wont do, but unless they've seen some serious track use, would be suprised if you couldn't skim them at least once without them becoming less than the minimum advised thickness).
Not sure where you're based but I can recommend an engineering shop in Wolverhampton if that's any use! The other alternative is to obviously look at other discs - the AP ones are obviousy a good choice as are the Brembos. Think they come in slightly cheaper?
Hope you get it sorted.
p.s. There's a chap on the P1 web owners club called Stuart Walker - think he's user name is StuartW - not sure if you've come accross him, but all the guys there recommend him for brake stuff. He can definitely supply pads and I think (?) he can supply discs too. I've bought pads from him before and he was v. helpful via email.
