Default Wiper Size & Opinions

Hi,
Having a look at replacing my wipers with the PIAA Silicone wiper blade from PRI Racing. Does anybody have any opinions, experience of these blades?

Also, got classic Impreza MY00 - what sizes do I need?

Not cheap, but worth every penny IMHO.

Unsure of size just know passenger side is shorter..!

Thanks for you input and information guys. Will get them on order today.
You're right, a little on the expensive side but if it improves vision & noise then it'll be worth it. I assume they don't wear as quickly being slippery so and so's, so I guess the cost will balance out, eventually....

Not sure about wear rate (I hope they last..!) but they are excellent. The oem wipers are, to say the least, CR@P..! As long as you follow the simple prep. instructions before fitting (~5mins..!) they're very quiet, you get no streaks and better still you only have to use your wipers a fraction of the time you would normally..!

It's quite a good feeling driving along (>40mph) without having any wipers on when everyone else has them on their fastest setting..! In fact the harder it rains the better.

It's like having Rain X on without the hastle of reapplying it..!

They rule, had them on my last 4 cars.

I usually order mine from Alyn at http://www.asperformance.com as his prices are very competitive.
