it's funny, years ago when ppl had ALCONS fitted at the dealer it was the 'poor relation option' than going BREMBO. Next step up would have been AP.

I bought a set of 4pot Subaru Brakes off a P1 (SimonBurton's car) that was new.. he went ALCON, they didn't last long before he realised he should have spent the extra for AP, so that was his next purchase.

 

Hi!

Were can I find wind deflectors to my hatch? I've searched the eBay but I'm a bit worried about the quality..

Thanks!

 

Subaru themselves mate is your best bet, thats where mine came

 

Thanks for the answer Rob.

The problem is that Subaru in Sweden is very expensive. They want £500 for a set of four...

Is there any kind of after market wind deflectors for around £100-£200 with descent quality?

 

I may be able to help mate, i could send you a set from the uk ??

 

Yeah sure, that would be great!

Do you have any pictures of them installed on a hatch back?

 

 

Got these a fortnite ago of e bay. Was worried about the quality but they seem ok. Think they wer bout £30 for all 4.

 

Over here they are £100 inc vat but can discount that, the shipping will be £37.40 inc vat

 

Are they back in stock Rob, as I apparently had the last set available a couple of weeks ago.

 

Brakes are a funny thing!

When I ha smaller cars, Brembo were always the choice upgrade. Now I have tem standard they seem pathetic, even with a decent pad they probably coudn't cope for very long. I like the Alcon setup, seen others such as K-sport, D2 all 'good' names, not seen any AP Racing specific kits yet in my hunt.

 

Shame as I was looking for an exhaust upgrade that wouldn’t affect my warranty......looks like I will have to wait for that to expire before I add more mods

 

4 sets in stock at subaru

 

4 set of TeamHEKO is a bargain, wheres the link! Much prefer the in window fitment than the Subaru stuck to seal style too

Thanks Don. They are a gift to fit. Fitted all 4 in about 20mins. The only downside I would say is they are very close to the window but for £30 I am not going to complain.

 

which set is it as it says doesn't fit 2008 cars

 

it does?

SubaruImpreza2008-- [2005-2012]Hatchback2.5 All-wheel Drive2457ccm 301HP 221KW (Petrol)

 

Buy cheap buy twice, I wouldn't fit inferior stuff to my car.

 

Do the subaru one's you sell fit the saloon Rob....?

 

Pretty sure they do fit hughy, don mentioned earlier he'd bought a set. I assume they were fitted to his own vehicle.

 

Ok Cheers Rob, I will add them to my wish list and let you know when I'm ready for a set.....

 

Yes they do and will be fitted when the weather improves

 

Thanks for the confirmation don

Just remember the isopropyl wipes when fitting, don't know why subaru stopped putting these in the kits.

 

No probs mate will sort some discount on them too

 

Ap do make a set for the hatch! They just never have any rears made for some reason so was 8 week wait last time I enquired. I find the brembos to be pretty much poo on my hatch so am looking for upgrade myself but I was advised the Alcon in general is a much better quality kit than the ap's? Having said that I have ap on my type r and they are awesome really really much better than brembos so I'm a little torn at the mo AP or Alcon? That's the question !!

 

could you do some more pix please on how they look, and tell me how they fit 'inside'.

does it scratch the glass?

 

They apparently spring into the window glass channel, but looking on Google there are many cases of fitting "difficulties".

 

Out of curiosity i've just googled them after reading this
as the old saying goes you get what you pay for, I'm happy with my Genuine Subaru Items..

 

I found one on youtube where the guy couldn't close the window... because he didn't fit the holding clips. lol
