    I have a 2003 WRX. Got to replace my brake pads and rotors, just wear and tear. Do I have to go with OEM? or Can I do something from NAPA? If yes, which ones would you recommend?
    If OEM, can you suggest the best site to get them.

    Are you against going aftermarket? You can find nice kits that come with rotors, pads, and stainless steel brake lines.

    Stoptech Front & Rear Slotted Sport Brake Kit | 2003-2005 Subaru Impreza WRX (977.47002) - https://www.maperformance.com/products/stoptech-front-rear-slotted-sport-brake-kit-multiple-fitments-977-47002?variant=43843246339&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsdHhBRCwARIsAAhRhsnBhmJYcNHgFJx4fjHk6v2SPumC-kmsOFoN-toUU5QQ8nGZrHxtRgIaAmzrEALw_wcB

    The price ranges but I bought this kit in the past and couldn't be happier. Performed well on the street for DD and also nice on the Tail of the Dragon.

    You certainly do not have to go with OEM.

    Check out tirerack.com as a starting point. Even if you don't buy from them, they'll give you a good rundown of what pads are out there and help you narrow down what price/performance you want.
