Hi FastLane1000,

Yes, Subaru did us a favor by making those front sway bar bushing mounts modular. Dropping subframes are never fun.

With OE springs and tires, you can achieve neutral handling with the front on stiff and the rear on medium soft hole setting (2nd hole from the end). With some better tires you can have plenty of stability even on the medium stiff hole setting (3rd hole from the end). If you have Hotchkis springs, these settings apply as well. When introducing higher/varying spring rates, more aggressive alignment settings and shock damping adjustability, you will have to adjust the sway bars accordingly to suit your needs.

Cheers!
