well i felt the soarer wipers were quite inadequate last winter so ordered a set of Piaa Vera's front wipers from yahoo japan, after having got the rear wiper off Daniel Lee. they look quite amazing, and also have that little curve to keep them flat at high speeds. they are just the blades, not the whole armature.

these are quite expensive, around 50 bucks per blade. but they work beautifully.

Daniel, Matthew - Is it the bosch aerotwin RETRO FIT, or standard flat? Looking at that website, the retro fits come in a 550mm & 500mm combo.

I also have the Bosch Armless ones and they are very good. I have had them now for almost 2 years and they are still going strong.

Received the aerotwins today...fitted them and tried them out in the rain. Work way better than the stock arms/blades and don't miss a beat at higher speeds, which is what annoyed about the stockies. Thanks for the suggestion guys.
