FEDERAL Tires
spidydt
  • Grip:
  • Noise:
Rating 4.0

I run these on my daily but my daily commute is 8-9 miles total so I just deal with the tire noise. But it is very noticeable. They are rated at 200TW so don't expect the same mileage as a PS4S. 7 to 10K is the average a lot of people report seeing out of the RS-RR

For the money nothing will grip as hard. That being said they need some heat in them to get the most out of them. I run them hard on track and they put a smile on my face. I'm not breaking track records so, again, for the money, great value.

Pros: great value, hard grip
Cons: very noticeable tire noise
Vehicle: Subaru

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I'm running the older Altimax Arctic on my 06 Legacy wagon and the new Arctic 12 on my 17 CX-5 awd. Agree 100%. They are excellent all-around winter tires, but far from a performance winter tire.

Pros: excellent all-around
Cons: far from performance

Shell Engine oil
maynardDRIVESfast2
  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 5.0

I used Rotella T6 in my old Subaru. It solved the oil consumption issue that boxer engine had. Seems like most people on NASIOC run T6. So if your car burns oil, it's worth a shot.

Pros: solved oil consumption issue
Vehicle: Subaru

Brembo Brake caliper

Nice! I put a set of gold Brembos on my 2017 WRX. You're right, they're overkill, but they sure look nice and work great.

Pros: look nice, work great
Cons: overkill
Vehicle: Subaru

Hawk Performance Brake pads

One of the best upgrades is knowing my brakes will stop when I need them to, the Brembos are overkill but I got them for a great price. The brake pads alone would've made a huge difference.

Pros: great stopping power

MOTUL Engine oil
Squeeks627
  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 3.0

I just put in Motul 8100 instead of whatever the dealer was using. Haven't really noticed a difference except it's occasionally burning a bit, but I can't say for sure that it's just because of the oil.

Pros: no noticeable difference
Cons: occasionally burning
Vehicle: Subaru

Gates Water pump

Don’t use a Gates kit or if you do purchase the Gates kit without the water pump and get a different brand water pump. Gates water pumps have an enormously high failure rate in the last several years and it sucks to have to do the job twice.

Cons: high failure rate, job twice
Vehicle: Subaru Impreza
