They don't engineer that part, they buy it from Exedy to my knowledge. I believe they can pay for a better part, but Subaru doesn't want to pay for it. Say a $10 upcharge gives you a bearing that outlasts the clutch material, Subaru has built or will build at least 200,000 86's, that's a cool $2 million in their pocket for picking the cheaper bearing.
