FEDERAL › Tires

Rating 4.0

Grip:
Noise:

I run these on my daily but my daily commute is 8-9 miles total so I just deal with the tire noise. But it is very noticeable. They are rated at 200TW so don't expect the same mileage as a PS4S. 7 to 10K is the average a lot of people report seeing out of the RS-RR

For the money nothing will grip as hard. That being said they need some heat in them to get the most out of them. I run them hard on track and they put a smile on my face. I'm not breaking track records so, again, for the money, great value.

Pros: great value, hard grip

Cons: very noticeable tire noise

Vehicle: Subaru

Raybestos › Brake discs

gusgizmo 25 Feb 2019, 19:33

Rating 5.0

Braking:

I priced out parts at $201 + S&H for premium raybestos rotors and pads at all 4 corners for a 2012 outback 2.5l on rockauto. Will be better than new for less than half the price.

Pros: better than new

Vehicle: Subaru Outback

GENERAL TIRE › Tires

jac04 30 Jan 2019, 22:29

Rating 4.0

Grip:

I'm running the older Altimax Arctic on my 06 Legacy wagon and the new Arctic 12 on my 17 CX-5 awd. Agree 100%. They are excellent all-around winter tires, but far from a performance winter tire.

Pros: excellent all-around

Cons: far from performance

Vehicle: Subaru Legacy

Shell › Engine oil

Rating 5.0

Exhaust smoke:

I used Rotella T6 in my old Subaru. It solved the oil consumption issue that boxer engine had. Seems like most people on NASIOC run T6. So if your car burns oil, it's worth a shot.

Pros: solved oil consumption issue

Vehicle: Subaru

Hawk Performance › Brake pads

Blindbatts 25 Oct 2018, 21:46

Rating 5.0

At ~94k on ours now...we've replaced all brake pads (hawk 5.0)...

Pros: better braking performance

Vehicle: Subaru

Mileage: 94000 km

Brembo › Brake caliper

wrxit 17 Oct 2018, 00:20

Rating 5.0

Nice! I put a set of gold Brembos on my 2017 WRX. You're right, they're overkill, but they sure look nice and work great.

Pros: look nice, work great

Cons: overkill

Vehicle: Subaru

Hawk Performance › Brake pads

Rating 5.0

Braking:

One of the best upgrades is knowing my brakes will stop when I need them to, the Brembos are overkill but I got them for a great price. The brake pads alone would've made a huge difference.

Pros: great stopping power

Vehicle: Subaru

MOTUL › Engine oil

Squeeks627 19 Jul 2016, 15:39

Rating 3.0

Exhaust smoke:

I just put in Motul 8100 instead of whatever the dealer was using. Haven't really noticed a difference except it's occasionally burning a bit, but I can't say for sure that it's just because of the oil.

Pros: no noticeable difference

Cons: occasionally burning

Vehicle: Subaru

Gates › Water pump

hourlyslugger 28 Nov 2021, 18:51

Rating 1.0

Don’t use a Gates kit or if you do purchase the Gates kit without the water pump and get a different brand water pump. Gates water pumps have an enormously high failure rate in the last several years and it sucks to have to do the job twice.

Cons: high failure rate, job twice

Vehicle: Subaru Impreza
