I had him replace all 4 tires with new General Altimax tires (which is what I have on my Tiguan now) and I never had another problem.

82k on my 2020 and somehow still rocking the Yokohamas that came with it (just barely above wear bars now). I drive 120 mile round trips on the highway at least 3x per week and travel between 65-90mph. I've never had a single issue.
I had Falken Wildpeaks on my Forester. Also a great tire
I put the Crossclimate2 on our outback and love them. They’re great (and surprisingly quiet) in the dry, have great grip in the wet
For brakes, you're limited to whatever you can fit with your wheels.. I doubt you'd fit Brembo's with them, so you may be limited to 4pot/2pot or just rebuilding your current calipers with good street pads and rotors.
On my WRX, I use Dixcel ES pads front and rear
I just put a windshield in my 2023 outback it cost me $1,250 from Subaru with calibration Safelite wanted $1,300 with calibration
Michelin CC2 is a great long lasting tire that is great in just about every condition except very deep snow. It was a big upgrade from the General RT43's we had previously had on our '13 OB. We have General 365AW on our '23 which are not quite as good in the rain, but are a lot cheaper.
Mid range brands that are decent but relatively cheap are General and Cooper.
The STI rack blows. There is no need for a faster ratio and all it does in reality is make the steering bizarrely stiff and heavy. The STI rack truly sucks for motorsports. Trying going lock to lock with steering that heavy and big sticky tires. It's a workout and your times will suffer. And it's just plain annoying on the street.
I can wear through an entire set in one day in a gen 1 brz. They did manage to stop the car more or less okay, but they wear like butter.
