I had the same issue with my 2017 SEL-P - went with Centric high carbon rotors and akebono pads. No more issues. The factory pads and rotors are crap. Passengers think I can't modulate brakes in the parking lot as it stops abruptly.
Those should be a very good combo. I ran Centric rotors on my 2012 Gen2 with good results.
Old shop I worked at swore by centric posi quiets. They bedded in good even when the customer didn't want rotors
I did use a set of Centric rotors on one of the German cars, so far so good.
I'm not a track guy, but centric premium blanks are what I use based on s2ki recs, if your feeling fancy, I've heard good things of girodisk 2 piece rotors. Obviously, tracking you'll want to replace blanks more often, but centric blanks are cheap and plenty.
I put centric coated rotors and Akebono pads on my 2016 and have not had pulsing in 40k.
I always use centric semi e-coated rotors (everything is e-coated except for the rotor face). I never had issues with them on any car.
You can get 4 for the price of one Subaru branded one on rockauto, and that includes known brands like Bosch and Brembo. I personally have used Centric rotors on everything I have owned for a decade now and they do the job just fine.
I have run Centric, Raybestos and Wagner, maybe the Wagner have lasted slightly longer
You need the Msport brakes unless you want new rotors every 5,000 miles. Have a 540i that didn’t come with them and was a nightmare until I upgraded.
