Ive got the sparco ones, bought as a bday present. Look so much better than normal and are a bit better, not by much. No blade to split either, I like mine.

I have the Piaa ones - been using them for a few years... they are silicone and put a coating on your screen, so when you are going 40mph + you dont need the wipers as the silicone coating makes the water stream up the screen... sort of like rain x but better....

They are great at shifting snow and mud splashes... I tried other wipers, flat blade stuff etc but the Piaa's are worth every penny...

when you install them you run the wipers dry over your screen for 5 mins, that is how your screen coats itself in silicone.. you do this periodicaly to keep the coating...

hope this helps...

Andy

Another vote for PIAA wipers. I remember driving back from Scooby shootout a couple of years back and the weather was awful on the A1. I didn't even need the windscreen wipers on the rain beaded and ran off .

PIAA all the way from me, I also thought was a lot to spend on wipers but after having them for a while can't see myself going back to anything else.

Used PIAA for years on both scoobs and have switched over to the Sparco blade type ones, worked really well in the recent bad weather.

Great performance for a fraction of the cost of PIAA's, just stick a bit of Rain X on the windscreen and Bob's your uncle.

If you decide to spend a fortune on PIAA's its size 22 and 6 for a newage
