I used SKP when I repaired the front end of my '12 Legacy. I ordered a RF control arm plus and extra ball joint for the left side and two stab. links, all SKP. Someone had returned the control arm because the cotter pin was missing and installation marks were found on the control arm itself, not sure why it was returned. I had no trouble removing the pinch bolts using a torch. The only reason I went with SKP was it all shipped from one warehouse on RA, plus, I wasn't sure about how the rest of the vehicle would turn out (just recently purchased). The hardest part in my case, was the rear vertical bolt, it required a lot of heat and penetrating oil in order to break free without snapping it in the unibody. I ended up cutting the control arm off with the torch in order to get the torch tip closer (heat) to the stubborn area. Eventually, with persistence it all went back together without incident. The stab links are not the greatest, the zerks would not accept grease, so I had to switch them out. It's not over, 3 months later, I was double checking my work and noticed an unsecured pinch bolt, not sure how, I torqued them due to their notoriety. I instructed an apprentice to secure it and he snapped the spindle and pinch bolt, but I took the blame, I should have kept a closer eye. A used spindle, another new ball joint & pinch bolt (not SKP) and over 2 years later, they're still okay. Good luck!
