Agree with the Conti DWS. My son lives in Colorado and regularly heads to the mountains to ski. The DWS worked fine for him in his 2011 WRX.
Reviews of spare parts for Subaru
Always use a genuine Subaru thermostat. Think of it this way - $40 for a thermostat shipped to your door is better than putting a new $10 in every 3 months.
I ran with Ferodo DS2500s. They work incredibly well for light track use (my street tires overheat before the brakes ever fade), they are dead silent, and, somehow, very low dust. They are more expensive than most other pads though and probably excessive for most people in their capabilities.
I'm putting [DBA T3 4000](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005SJ7ERU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) rotors on my WRX (with Ferodo DS2500 pads) next week. Those rotors are rated for racing temps and aren't crazy expensive.
it was ~40kmi, no crack, no shaft play or other problems etc.
Jumpers, disc golf bag, sleeping bag, old winter jacket w/ wool socks, OEM jack w/breaker bar, 4 qt Rotella T6.
general altimax arctic 215/50 r17 - 2005 Subaru sti - Nebraska winters - such a great tire, i almost wish i could have more fun when I'm our playing in the snow...
I as well just replaced the oem brakes after almost 7 years. Other than a warrantied sensor, I've not had any issues. Still a blast to drive after 7 years, it still feels new.
In hindsight, however, I do drive 15 miles up/down/through a mountain pass 5 days a week. That’s gotta be the culprit!
My 2016 wrx has an AC compressor fit for a small drawer or shitty wine fridge. In the summer I can have the AC in full blast for the whole ride and the car never cools off. :(
