Might Have Gotten Counterfeit Brake Pads

I wish I had that answer! That was how they came in the box. I can't say with certainty but IIRC they were wrapped in plastic inside the box as well.
Well I had a '13 but I seem to remember they were identical because we got 3 without the squealer and one with.
but otherwise the same.

Not sure about a '17

Subaru has been using ATE brakes recently, so has Honda. Before that, it was a safe bet Subaru brakes were Hitachi Tokico from the Nissan days, and Hondas were usually Nissin or Akebono. Toyota used Aisin or Sumitomo, which are now Advics.

Hitachi and Honda merged their parts business into Hitachi Astemo, and Tokico brakes are in the same business line as the former Honda Nissin line.
