I replaced rear pads and rotors on my 2000 OBW with Beck/Arnley parts from RockAuto. Now its as if the inner diameter of the parking brake drum 'hat' is greater than before, since I have to pull the parking brake lever several move clicks than before, and even at the limit the brake is pretty ineffective. What to do? Adjustable?

You can either adjust the cable at the handle or adjust the cable at the brakes themselves. In some of the Subaru's, theres a little plate on the driver's side of the console that you can pop open to adjust the cable at the handle.
