Firestone Tires
Guppy-Warrior
  • Grip:
  • Noise:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 5.0

I've driven about 200 miles on my new Weatherpeaks on my stock Subaru Outback. I was shocked with how good the tires performed in the downpour. On very wet roads with massive puddles, the Weatherpeaks felt like my old tires did on completely dry roads. Grip was fantastic. No slipping at all. Even when I hit really large puddles at speed I didn't hydroplane. The tires do feel slightly "softer" in the turns when its dry than the stock tires but they still feel great...and are a much smoother and quieter ride overall. Even on dry roads I feel like the car has better control.

Pros: smooth and quieter ride, better control
Cons: softer in turns
Mileage: 322 km

Pilkington Windshield
JoeGoats
  • Chips/cracks:
Rating 4.0

Some Outback owners are already on their 3rd or 4th windshield in 2 years. So far the only solution is to demand a non OEM third party window replacement. Owners who can convince the insurance to use Pilkington glass for a replacement are having far less issues.

Pros: less issues with Pilkington
Cons: OEM glass is problematic

EBC Brake pads
yatogamii
  • Braking:
Rating 5.0

Have had them for a year or two now. Do the proper break-in procedure and they're a nice upgrade over stock. Honestly don't think anyone needs more for the streets

Pros: nice upgrade, good for streets

Falken Tires

I did change the tire out when I got it to Falken Wildpeak A/T’s, so the mileage could be better with different tires. As far as snow and mountain roads, the car work’s amazing.

Pros: amazing on snow, mountain roads
Cons: mileage could be better
Vehicle: Subaru

OEM Subaru Head gasket

I can't recommend calling around to other mechanics/dealerships enough. Did the head gaskets on my subie, have done them on all subies, but on the most recent one earlier this year. The range in expected cost I was quoted ranged from 2700-8k. Went with the 2700 option, a local, family owned subaru mechanic, and have had zero issues since.

Pros: zero issues since
Vehicle: Subaru

I had ordered the OEM Subaru accordion-style one, but it was honestly terrible; really long and rigid, hard to unfold and put up, and very expensive.

Cons: long and rigid, hard to unfold, very expensive
