I also just installed the subaru camber crash bolt. The car rides much better which was a surprise to me, I was expecting a firmer ride. As for performance, the car feels much better during turn-in and holding mid corner but it does feel like the car kinda snaps loose now instead of a controlled slide. Its not a huge difference, its still a controlled slide, just a little harder to figure out when those rears will break loose. Any ideas why? I also need to lower the car a bit but want to keep that little oversteer. What kind of springs,spring rates, and drop am I looking for to keep the stock suspension characteristics with these new wheels and tires on my car?

RCE Yellows and RCE Sways. 22mm drop, 250 lbs front and rear and they put the OEM struts in the 65% critically damped sweet spot. Sways set stiffer in the rear and softer in the front. Oversteer is still there at the limit of adhesion and is predictable. Body roll is gone. Turn in is razor sharp. Ride height is perfect for practicality and performance.
