I might as well vote for Rock Auto and Amazon too. The only two online places I buy auto parts from. I am a frequenter of the Autozone brick and mortar store.
If it`s for winter, make sure *YOU* like it. My 1st-gen (Impreza) WRX hatch was utterly *AWFUL* in snow, and that`s with the exact same tires we ran on a similar Audi Quattro (which was *great* in snow). Subarus might all have AWD, but IME that doesn`t mean they`re all great winter vehicles. Both of mine were terrible disappointments after decades with other AWD/4WD vehicles.
It was so bad I usually parked it and drove a RWD/non-ABS vehicle (with a good LSD and snows) instead just because it worked so much better in bad weather.
And both of my Subarus (both bought new) were in the shop *constantly* for issues that the dealerships could seldom fix....sold both while *still under warranty* with CELs lit up and other problems unresolved. (Yeah yeah.... coulda/woulda/shoulda done the Lemon Law thing but didn`t want to bother.)
All that said, I still toy with the idea of buying another pre-20005 Subie wagon, some lessons take me a while to truly learn
And yeah, I know that every other Subaru owner has apparently had a trouble-free experience with `em; ya pays your money and ya takes your chances, good luck.
I don`t think it`s snowed here in over two years. I definitely have no need for a winter vehicle, just wouldn`t mind having a nicer daily driver so I am not as tempted to drive my SRT every day (it just hit 80k miles).
I`m sure I`ll end up with more of a grown up type vehicle, but who knows.

Heh heh, Note To Self: He`s in TEXAS you dummy!
More "grown up" a vehicle than what? Your SRT? Eh, get any more conservative than that and you`ll turn into somebody like me. 80K? IMO that`s just starting to get broken-in.
But seriously, I simply *HATED* driving my WRX despite really, *really*, *REALLY* wanting to like it. And my wife, who was driving an old-school Turbo Quattro at the time (and who never wore out a clutch in her life...meaning "no slipping it to launch") thought the turbo lag of the WRX made it downright unsafe..."you can`t pull out of our street in something that slow!" Eh, I`m being Mr Doom-and-Gloom again..but be sure you know you like it before you buy any Subaru. After your SRT...well, good luck with that
Brandt just needs a 4-ton SUV to get even worse gas mileage

wow. good info
well I`m not getting rid of the SRT, period..it`s only gonna be replaced with a Hellcat or if dodge makes a cool new SRT from the Alpha Romero chasis they`re gonna start using soon
the only non mopar vehicle I`d trade my SRT for would be if I could find a good conditioned 2JZ Supra (last body style) but those cost almost as much as my friggin house these days
