GENERAL TIRE Tires
Chazwozza
  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.0

I bought a set of 17" wheels for my Impreza, and they came with General G-Max AS-03s on them. I've been very pleasantly surprised. I've used them for two summers, and they're fairly grippy and the ride seems fine for a 215/45ZR17, so no complaints about Generals from me.

Pros: fairly grippy, ride fine

OPTIMA Battery
ohits_sht
  • Indicator:
Rating 4.0

Agreed with others, weigh your usage and environment/climate into the equation. We will personally be replacing ours with a deep discharge battery like the Optima Yellow, since I've noticed that of recent we've been running a lot quick errands that involve one person running in while everyone else hangs out in the car with A/C on.

Pros: deep discharge battery
Vehicle: Subaru Legacy

STOPTECH Brake pads
DemandCommonSense
  • Braking:
  • Noise:
  • Dust:
Rating 4.0

Stoptech Street Performance pads are a better compound. My wife had them on her old WRX and they were fine for her use. She didn't experience any noise, they were lower dust than the HPS, and were quicker to bite honestly.

Pros: lower dust, quicker bite
Cons: noise
Vehicle: Subaru

Panasonic Battery
Surf Green
  • Cranking:
Rating 4.0

The OE Panasonic battery in my WRX died roughly 12 minutes after I bought the car. It was the original, so it was 9ish years old. Impressive.

Pros: impressive lifespan
Cons: died quickly
Vehicle: Subaru

Denso Wiper blades
AKADriver
  • Wipe quality:
Rating 5.0

After trying a lot of different blades over the years, these days I order Denso Designer blades for all my cars from Rockauto (not affiliated, just a fan). They were OEM on my '09 Subaru Forester and they work great and last a long time.

Pros: work great, last long

DUNLOP Tires

I got my WRX in March, near the end of the winter season. It snowed heavily one day, and I got stuck trying to go up my driveway because I only had the stock Dunlops. AWD was no replacement for winter tires.

Cons: got stuck
Vehicle: Subaru
