OEM Subaru Control arm

I got a similar quote with almost identical wear showing for my 2014 crosstrek ($1700), and everyone said that it was insane high. I searched facebook for a Subaru specific group in my local area, and searched it for recommended Subaru mechanics. Found a highly recommended mechanic who replaced both control arms plus the needed alignment for about $540.

Pros: cheaper repair cost
Cons: insane high quote

OEM Subaru Control arm
Puiu1
  • Stability:
Rating 5.0

For example, Subaru control arms tend to be a wear out part that doesn't last that long The dealer will charge you $1,500 to do both sides and sure that's using OEM parts which aren't even that green in this case I myself was able to do that exact repair for $250 and a few hours of my time

Pros: cheaper than dealer
Cons: frustrating sometimes

Exedy Clutch kit
experimentalengine
  • Engagement smoothness:
Rating 5.0

Exedy stock clutch kit will be a good deal cheaper (assuming these are OEM parts). Also, an ACT StreetLite flywheel is cheaper and a great alternative. I’ve had one for a couple of years and I have no complaints.

Pros: no complaints, great alternative
Cons: cheaper options available

Continental Tires

1. Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+

2. Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06+

These were the two options I considered and ended up getting the first one at Discount Tire. It was the cheapest option. I just got em last month.

Pros: cheapest option

OEM Subaru Control arm

I replaced the lower control arms in my 2016 Forester at 150k. The car would rumble at 75mph+ and that’s what caused me to replace them. If you don’t feel any rumbling, then you can hold off on replacing them.

Cons: car would rumble at 75mph+

OEM Subaru Brake pads

I find the brakes in the 25 WRX to be soft and not a lot of bite in them. If Im braking and need to apply more brake pedal if feels as if nothing is happening brake wise from my initial depress. I'd like more bite with the pads.

Cons: soft, not much bite, unresponsive

OEM Subaru Brake pads

Mechanically, the wrx brakes are fine, but the feel is so freakin stiff compared to other cars that it really takes a bit to get used to. In emergency braking, you press the pedal thinking you'll stop fine, but you don't press hard enough and come in faster than you thought, press down harder and it's still not triggering abs, and you crash. It's so damn hard to trigger ABS in this car

Pros: mechanically fine
Cons: stiff feel, hard to trigger ABS

The WRX has brakes that are worse than all of them. It takes an amount of pedal pressure that had me check if the power brakes were working. The brakes on the WRX are ass.

Cons: worse than others, high pedal pressure, are ass
