I purchased a few sets of these a while back on eBay.

One lot I got were cheaper and the mouldings tell you that.

I also purchased other ones that looks better moulding wise but the off set to the nipples are all wrong to use.

May put the cheap moulding ones on for the winter and see about sorting them out in the spring.

Well worth the money.
Easy to fit in the existing hole, no mods needed.

If you want the OE Peugeot or Citreon ones the part number is 6438 V8

I had these and the pattern ones in my Pugs and worked fine, will see if they are just as good in the STI.

Sod it, I've just ordered a set, and I'll probably re-plumb the system to equalize the pressure

I must admit I never experienced any problems with the OE washers, apart from where I managed to get some wax in the hole! I just bought the mist ones because they cover more of the are with a shorter blast, if that makes sense.

Sounds sensible, but it's simpler for me - I'm just fickle and fancy something different

On the Legacy, there's a non-return valve to stop the washer lines draining back into the bottle, so you get an instant squirt.
This also seems to allow the washers to freeze up.
I removed the non return valve, so after a squirt the liquid does return to the bottle, and as there's no liquid at the nozzle anymore, there's nothing to freeze.
The downside is the second or two between press, and squirt.
I also replaced the washer pipes with silicon, and let them dangle down on the turbo's at each side, so the heat from the turbo's keeps the pipes warm.
Never had any winter problems since I did this.
Oh, and I also have a genuine Subaru block heater fitted as well.
And a screenwash heater.

it gets cold up north!

Cheers,
What is the coverage like? Is the spray low or in the middle or high up the screen.
When I had these in my Pug the spray was low.

Got the jets today.

Can I ask how you alter the jet?

Fires the water at the bottom of the wiper.
