It seems that they aren't nearly fast enough in serious downpours.

I was pissed when I drove my old WRX to Oregon a couple years ago.

Plus it would be nice to have a rear wiper...

I changed over to PIAA silicone wiper blades back in February and have to say that they've held up pretty well,

but as far as the wind patterns and ultimate effectiveness of the wiper system in serious rain-

That still sux, even with good wiper blades

there is a PIAA wiper you can get that has a little fairing that is supposed to keep the blade down at higher speeds.

The funny thing I think is that when I'm going about 35ish and it's raining, every once in a while a HUGE amount of water will come flying up from the front of the car and land on the windshield. Has anyone else seen this?

No, I ordered them Monday night , they came Wednesday morning. I just said super at the end because I said it so many times in the post, I thought it sounded funny.
