I think steering is a bit more responsive. It's smoother than it used to be... although my existing bushes were in good condition, they had quite a stiff feel to them which is now gone.
The mechanic did note the control arm position was changed as a result of these bushes. Is that expected? (not that he elaborated beyond the change of position)
Also I asked him to install the larger shim underneath and the smaller on top - as marked on the pack provided by Phat and as per his recent advice in this thread. (Mechanic was skeptical of this but said he did it as requested). Earlier posts in this thread have said to use the medium shims underneath. Why the change?

Subaru designed it that way for a number of reasons including 1) reduced pitch changes for occupant comfort (reduce chance of people getting carsick); 2) increasing the understeer tendency at the limit for safety reasons to cope with all types of drivers.
