OEM is always good it's hard to go wrong. Subaru only sells remans now the part number 23700AA190R1 the R1 in the part number means reman and they charge a $50 core. The way it works is let say you have a 2007 STI and for some reason you need an alternator you wrecked the front end or fried it etc,etc. The thing is you can only buy a new one because the failure rate on a new model car is so low Subaru waits a few years before starting a reman program. I actually have a brand new genuine OEM not reman 23700AA190 which is not available from Subaru any more.
