Proper Tire rotation
I looked at the info on Tirerack but am still unsure and don't have a manual so what's the correct sequence.
is it FR switch with RR
FL switch with RL?

Rotate every 7500 miles, front to rear only, not side to side. Adjust tire inflation pressure to maintain front/rear bias.

No, not correct. It's right-front to right-rear and left-front to left-rear. Don't swap them from left to right, or vice versa - the tires on the right-side of the car stay on the right-side when rotating them. Does this help?
EDIT: I guess you had it right in your first post, but I wanted to spell it out so that there's no misinterpretation.

Subaru specifically recommends front to rear rotation for best results. Most other 2wd manufacturers recommend front to rear then criss-cross the rears when moving to the front. I usually vary based on tire wear as my left side tires wear more quickly than the right.
