Subaru parts reviews

I have just replaced the cabin air filter in 2025 FW and was really surprised as how thin the filter was. In a couple of places I could see through it. I went to AutoZone and got a $25 filter from STP which looked much more solid than the original OEM.

I ran Hawk HPS5.0 on my WRX for a while (with STI Brembos) and aftermarket rotors. They worked pretty well for dual purpose.

Raybestos Element 3 in the Forester (surprisingly good pads and cheap AF)

Got the Vredestein Ultrac Pros. They have been great tires. When I did some research before purchasing I found that they have been in Europe for years now and just started selling here a year or so ago. They are grippy, quiet, have been great in the Florida weather, and they look nice. People said they are trying to move into the higher end tire market with prices a bit cheaper than the other makers. I recommend them to every WRX owner that asks about tires.

Head gaskets. You're on the cusp of a very expensive and very necessary repair if it has not been done already. I "got a steal" on a 2001 Legacy wagon years ago. 130,000 miles. The head gaskets went at 140,000 and I was not in a financial position to have the car fixed. Absolutely loved the car.

Had good luck with their older Asian green, Toyota pink, and Newer Asian Blue in my son's Subaru.

I just got my Impreza windshield replaced with Pilkington after seeing comments in various Subaru subs. The glass is just okay, it has a weird but minor horizontal wavy spot and no idea if it’ll actually be more durable in the long run. It did calibrate fine and EyeSight seems to be working without issue.

I’ve had my 2015 for just under a year and I’ve had a chip filled and then the whole windshield replaced due to another unrelated crack I got driving on a freeway on ramp

Got four chips in the first two weeks of owning it. Thankfully insurance covers it, but it blows my mind that it happened so easily. I keep a good distance from cars ahead of me, especially since I live in Nashville.

After replacing my windshield twice within 5 years, I tends to believe the angle of 2019 Forester windshield makes it prone to chipping, following or not following the vehicles in the front.
