I got mine from my local parts store. I had to wait 2 weeks to get
them, but they ordered them for me with no hassles (except confusing the
Legacy with the Outback). Around here its Murray's Auto Parts, but I'm
sure your local Napa or whatever can order them up.

You can also try subaruwrxparts.com and subarugenuineparts.com , two
more online Subaru dealers. There are others, you can go to the vendor
section at www.nasioc.com and look for the vendors who are also Subaru
parts departments.
Bear in mind however, that rotors are heavy and may be expensive to
ship, which will wipe out some of the savings from any discounts.

i have seen lots of site that purportedly sell oem parts only to get to
the actual parts page to find it either poorly organized, where one
can't tell the difference between legacy wagon and outback parts or
downright untrue since the parts sold are clearly after market parts.
just wondered if anyone had any positive results from any particular
site recently.

I stil don't see your problem. If the parts are in warranty you
should not be buying them. If they are out of warranty aftermarket
are as good or better. Quite often the aftermarket parts come from
the same factory as the genuine original but have 2 or 3 less markups
in the channel between you and them. That is why they are cheaper.
It is not because anyone is taking a lower cut.
