TapTurn is well tried and tested on this platform/Subarus.

I've picked my camber settings mostly track focused. I don't really "daily drive" at all since I work from home, but even then, I rarely drive unless it's spiritedly and for fun. I'd run more camber than this, but I want to start here and see where things are for the tires I'm interested in using a pyrometer on track before making any more alignment adjustments. All the bushings are in except the rear subframe inserts (Whiteline KDT922) because when I opened the package it had 1 extra of one part and was missing 1 of another part. Everything else went pretty well though, only took ~9 hours of work in the shop drinking beer with my helper to get it all done. Having access to a lift, a pole jack, a shop press, air tools, and a torch helped speed things along a lot. Having a fridge full of beer probably slowed things down a bit. But all in all, it went well, and the car feels great. I'm doing an alignment check on Monday with a buddy who works at a dealership, but it seems to track straight and no adjustable arms were installed yet and no adjustments were touched, so it should be alright. Next Saturday, if all works out, I'll be doing the coilovers and arms, but I won't get to enjoy them until quite a ways later because I start work travel next Sunday and need to get a proper performance alignment before going HAM. Yep, I'm aware the arms are aluminium and only the socket cap screws which lock the adjuster are titanium, but they call it "Titanium Series", so, I do to.

The facelift certainly did bring some improvements, mainly in refinement than anything else. A bit nicer on the interior and dash too.
