Review:

Valeo (600 Series)

Recommend changing every 6 months. If you plan on waiting longer, to get more life out of them RainX Latitude seems to be the better choice.

I changed mine to Valeo's and bought a set of RainX Latitude's for the cold season...Texas doesn't get much snow, not around Ft. Hood anyway, mostly rain. I wanted the RainX for the colder months, so I will likely swap the Valeo's out in a few months.

It might perform on a Lancer but I don't know if its up to the task of performing at the speeds the Evo is gonna be at.

^lol. We bought a set of RainX in Montana once for our SUV. Didn't care for them much and switched back to PIAAs. They bead up water on your windshield for far longer than any other blade I've used. I'll try the Bosch at some point but I've had these PIAAs on for more than a year at this point and they still work pretty well.

RainX's top of the line wipers are pretty good and the right price.
My friend has the PIAA Silicone and they last a ridiculously long time, but there is a weird film/streak effect that I'm not a huge fan of.

When looking at the Bosch Evolution 17" wiper blade which fits the rear, people said that it's actually shorter than 17". If that was true, would the 18" work or is it too long?

I'd hate to get on the marketing/sales side of things but I work at Pepboys and we are having a good sale on RainX Latitude blades right now! I figured you might be interested!?!
