The "problem" with Subaru lug studs breaking is usually due to being over torqued. They are made to only be torqued to around 89 ft/lb. Most shops use air or electric impacts that tighten them more than that and over time they stretch and seize or break.

They are somewhat easy to replace, and inexpensive. I have made the switch to ARP's on my track car, but in my 25 years of owning Subaru's have only had to replace maybe 3 for actual breakage. Matter of fact the 20 I took out of my BRZ I kept and use them on the rebuilds we get that have broken ones.
