Falken › Tires

Altruistic-Working37 14 Mar 2023, 14:47

Rating 4.0

Grip:
Ride comfort:

I purchased my set of Falken Wildpeaks A/T trails back in 2020 and since then used them on all sorts of terrain. They handled well, in snow, dirt and rain and on road manners were excellent. My only small complaint was the big drop in fuel economy (22 MPG average.). Well, they've been driven about 38k miles now since my Subaru Forester is used for our family road trips and the tires are down to 2/32nd of tread.

Pros: handled well, excellent manners

Cons: big drop in MPG

Vehicle: Subaru Forester

Mileage: 61155 km

OEM Subaru › Engine oil

Rating 4.0

My '15 Forester will burn a quart of oil every 1000 miles if I run 0w20.

I switched to 5w30 and it's all good for 5000 miles

Pros: good for 5000 miles

Cons: burn a quart of oil

Vehicle: Subaru Forester

Mileage: 5000 km

Koyo › Engine radiator

Rating 5.0

I opted for a stock replacement Koyo with the plastic end tanks again. It'll get you buy for another 10-15 years and 100k miles.

Pros: long lifespan, reliable

Vehicle: Subaru

EBC › Brake pads

Braking:
Noise:
Dust:

I got my front and rear ebc yellow stuff pads from new provisions racing. Installed and fit perfect, increases initial bite with a little bit more noise and definitely more dust. Worth it IMO, stock pads had weak initial bite.

Pros: increased bite, good fit

Cons: more noise, more dust

Vehicle: Subaru

Brembo › Brake caliper

Rating 5.0

Smell/heat:

I'm running the '14 STI front/rear Brembo calipers with DBA slotted rotors and EBC Yellow pads with steel braided lines. And Motul 5.1 fluid. I can pretty much out brake everyone in to the turns at the track or touge.

Also have Porsche 997 GT3 brake cooling ducts installed (yes they fit). I have zero heat/fading issues. The brakes can do hot laps for a full 20mins track session with no performance lost.

Pros: superior braking, no heat issues

Vehicle: Subaru Impreza WRX STi

MOTUL › Engine oil

That said, I use Motul 0W20 in the winter and 5W30 in the summer.

Pros: using Motul oil

Vehicle: Subaru

OEM Subaru › Radiator cap

Seal:
Overheat control:

Check the radiator cap. I had this same issue (though no overheating, perhaps because I was driving in sub-freezing temperatures) and after replacing the radiator cap with a $12 part, no issues since.

Pros: no issues since

Vehicle: Subaru Legacy

Duralast › Ignition coil

MRccRee 29 Dec 2022, 20:32

Rating 3.0

Warning light:

Duralast is a hit or miss kinda deal. It’s equivalent to oem. The good thing about it is you can swap them out for new ones if it ever fails. The bad thing is they either fail in a very short period of time or last for a very long time there’s no in between.

Pros: can swap out if fails

Cons: fail in short period

Vehicle: Subaru

OEM Subaru › Battery

Rating 1.0

Cranking:

I had Subaru batteries last me only 2 years in upstate NY. I kept getting them for free under warranty. I probably got 4 this way. Finally, the dealer said your alternator is bad and that's why they are going bad (completely bogus). I started going to a local mechanics soon after that and they told me that super OEM batteries are complete garbage.

Pros: free under warranty

Cons: batteries complete garbage
