I never thought of how useful window visors were till this past week. LOL ordered a set, and am awaiting its arrival. Anyone else have them? I got mines for $35 on eBay, and it uses 3M tape. I read that it's better then the clip ons from a past thread.
And I saw a picture of jourdanwithaU's car from back then Lol

I have the Subaru "JDM" rainguards I bought of some Japanese website. They are held on by clips and 3m tape. In all honestly from comparing the OEM USDM/JDM rainguards they look almost identical. Cost me $75 |

The Weathertech raingaurds are by far the best looking option but they're all equally functional. |

I've heard complaints about the Weathertechs falling out of the rear windows. I'm pretty happy with my stick on visors. My only complaint is that they're purple.

Does anyone know what's needed to run WRX front brake rotors? Can I get away with just WRX caliper brackets or do I need the whole caliper?

The rears are the same. In the front, the WRX Rotors are 18mm larger.

Yeah nevermind they are just Impreza specific. I would assume you would need the WRX calipers in order to fit the WRX rotors.

I'd say change them in pairs. They're sold in pairs so...
How many miles did you get out of them? |

It's definitely metal - maybe used to be a nail? Not sure how long its been there, as it's very rusted. It's shaved down exactly the same height as the tread.
I'm thinking I picked it up near the construction by the bridge I pass on my way to work. |

55k and I'm still on original pads...
I'm starting to wonder how they're still there. You're not the first person I have head of replacing their brakes. |

Changed my pads and rotors at 40k. Had shuddering on braking from 60mph. Figured I'd just redo everything. Cost me $220. Money well spent. A

I put hawk hps pads on at 20k miles all around, upgraded to Dba t3 spec Wrx rotors in front and Dba slotted in the back at 26k miles. Stock pads are complete garbage for even very minimal aggressive driving. No complains since.
