Front calipers and rotors were replaced. The calipers were replaced twice as you could feel, through the brake pedal and your ears, a shuttering noise on rough roads. The calipers were remanufactured and the company doing this evidently didn't know how to do this properly. The service dealer gave me my money back and then I paid additionally for Subaru calipers. This solved the noise problem.
