Default Gauges

I am thinking about buying some gauges for my wrx. Does anybody have any suggestions on what kind of gauges to get? I was either going to get Blitz BLM or Defi link. If anyone on here has defi, could you tell me how easy are they to install, how well they operate...ect. Mainly is it worth the price to pay?

Theres a place in Texas that sells Defi gauges for very cheap, official Defi dealer too. I found them via the Defi site.

I had a single Defi Link in my old WRX. It was a 60mm boost gauge in the Defi cup mounted in front of the clock. I had an aftermarket headunit installed as well, so I mounted the V2 controller in a Forrester pocket w/door. Wiring was very easy, especially since I had the power wires marked with the headunit. The controls are very intuitive and easy to operate. It is a lot more user friendly than my brother's Greddy warning meter.

I loved my Defi.

I have the DEFI BF... excellent gauges, and ive never had a problem with them, PERIOD. they arent bad to hook up if you can figure out how to wire pretty basic stuff, so... Ive also had Apex'i gauges, and GReddy electronic warning gauges, and the greddy stuff SUCKED. it took a shit on me after 2 months... garbage.
