It almost doesn't matter at this point. Everyone who spends Subaru's outrageous prices on OEM equipment will have it fail on them prematurely. This seems, for the price, our best option out there. If all goes well, I"m buying a set and installing them as soon as summer gets here. I plan on driving across the entire country at the end of the summer, so that should be the ultimate test. Maybe they'll do specials on a group buy?
