My torque wrench only goes down to 20ft-lbs so I didn't use it, but my guess is I was torqued over the spec. Thanks for the detailed write up and photos. Not sure I trust myself to get it looking as good as yours does.

Your diagram perfectly shows what my problem is as well. Its rubbed the paint away along the small patch where it actually makes contact with that raised bump. Was it worth the time it took you to file it down? I honestly just wanted to bolt this on an be done with it...

I am having similar issues getting the strut bar to fit on my 2018 legacy. I contacted SSD and they said the holes for the studs were not drilled to the correct size and that they need to be drilled out to 1/2". I noticed the same problem with it resting on the raised part between the studs so I'm wondering if there is something else wrong with the brackets as well, because it doesn't seem like larger holes would fix that issue. They also suggested I could just torque it down and that it would pull the bracket down but I didn't want to strip anything. Did you have any luck getting yours to fit?
