I really dig the 6 wiper, I want to get one soon. The wiper delete looks incredibly clean but I use my rear wiper all the time.

Can't understand why in hell anybody would want to delete the rear wiper, these cars suck dirt on the rear like nobodys business, especially in winter with the slushy roads. In Japan even sedans have the rear wiper.
More than one guy on the Subaru forums has imported the rear glass and wiper for a legacy.

Pat.

agreed. i went one winter without my rear wiper after the motor stopped and i hated it with a passion. im so glad to have it back with the mazda6 swap.

I have the wiper delete, and have not a problem at all seeing out of the back...no matter how dirty it is...I don't comprehend how people say they can't see out of it...

i rode in rgn .5 assn's p5. he had tein's on as well with the tokico illuminas (adjustable struts) turned all the way soft. comfiest lowered protege ive ever ridden in so far lol.

u should just save up and install your struts all at once to reduce the work. if you lower it now, you'll need an alignment. if you add struts later on again, u'll need another alignment

 

[jonridinhi]

(iagree)

Do it right the first time....

 

[Alamo1]

+1. I did it the hard way. I needed new struts bad at 220K+ so I changed out to Illuminas and now I have Espelirs to install in the spring. Make sure you mod your car after thinking of all of the costs cuz mine are adding up. Luckily some of it has been put on hold so I can save for a freakin' engagement ring...... time to plan my mods more intelligently.
