In the end, I did some research and found that it takes 4 qts to do a spill and fill, which is THE preferred maintenance procedure, at 60k miles/100k Kms, from Subaru. I then contacted AMSOIL directly, who said not only is their CVT fluid compatible with all CVTs, from 1 to 3 and HT, it was also Warranty Secured, both Manufacturer and Aftermarket. So, I did it myself. Took about an hour and used 4 quarts. I bought a $10 transfer pump. The warm-up/top-up procedure is easy peasy. And if I can do it, anyone can!

I used EBC blue stuff on my BRZ with factory brembos, and replaced the pads using FCP euro lifetime warranty. EBC blues would hold up for multiple track days with stock power on 200TW tires, and I didn’t experience fade at my skill level, usually intermediate at HDPE days.
Higher-temp and higher-mu pads (Project Mu HC+R3) + braided brake lines + DOT 4 fluid for me. Slotted fronts, blank rears.
I just purchased these from O’Reilly’s near me today 1/19/24 for my 2018 Crosstrek limited. Only one set in stock. Looks like they're also available from Amazon. They Are Bosch and fit directly, no adapters needed. Only tested them with the windshield washer fluid and they are smooth and crisp.
2022 Wilderness OB that came with Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 (very good tires--I ordered my car online and it was delivered new) and I just replaced them at 52,000 as they were getting thin.
I didn't replace my factory Yokohama tires on my 2022 Limited until around 38k miles, and I still had around 1/4" tread left. I wanted better winter tires and replaced them with Michelin Cross-Climate 2 tires with a 60k tread wear warranty. There is a bit more ride noise than with my Yokohama tires, but nothing a few more decibels on the radio doesn't fix
I went to the same thing this past summer(vegas) until I changed to koyo rad.
The oem brakes on my 2012 were lackluster and kept seizing pins or calipers so I fixed the problem for good
I drive a 05 wrx and have had both Blizzak WS80 and GT Radial Ice Pro 3 on it. I only got the GT Radials because I was in grad school and they were cheap. They get the job done, but are definitely not as good as blizzies. Obviously haven't done any scientific tests, but the steering feel is noticeably worse on the radials, stopping distance is much longer, acceleration worse. Frequently notice them understeering significantly on both wet and snowy roads.
The Falken tires they roll out of the factory suck, Falken as a brand in general isn’t bad. I went from Falken ZX-somethings to Falken Wildpeaks on my Crosstrek and it’s night and day.
