I think its more about even torque than anything, 45 ftlbs isn't that low when it's even. I still have to put some force into loosening the lugs. 60/65 isn't crazy high to wear it would hurt anything but I would be weary of going above 80 ft lbs. But thats just me, I had to have a wheel bearing replaced when I bought my car due to over-torqued lugs. Maybe 02's and 08+ have different torque specs. I am just going off of what L.I.C. recommended

That I'm sure is part of it.
But the deal is... with a good shop you CREATE demand. Subaru's were not very big in the bay area 10 years ago.... hell 7 years ago. But because there was a fan base a few shops popped up and because there's a few shops there's a customer base. They feed each other.
You put a decent shop out in the monterey bay and I bet you start to see more subaru's over here.
The sad part for me is that I'm locked in with my shops and that's who i support. Even if they're 2/3 hours away. So it's a tough go out here right now because there are so many established shops on the other side of the "hill".
But there are tons of subaru's out here if you're good enough. It would almost have to be someone from the bay or LA that moves there.

Not a Subaru, but the sickest wagon I have ever seen!
