    I honestly dont know why people generally prioritize engine mods over brakes. The stock engine is perfectly capable of getting you into trouble that the stock brakes cant get you out of. For me it's good brakes and tires first, everything else second.

    FYI, you installed the rotors on the wrong side of the car. The directional slots are supposed to point toward the front of the car - not to be confused with the directional veins inside the rotor, which point to the rear.

    What you refer to as the viewing window on the rear rotor is the window that allows you to adjust the emergency brake. There’s a spur you can rotate with a flat head that extends or retracts the pad

      I was going to suggest bleeding but if you've already done that not sure. It's possible there is air in the ABS system. Sometimes the ABS system on some vehicles require a computer aided bleeding process. I'm not sure if the subie is that way or not but that could be the issue
