If you've purchased Valeo Wipers (aero style), what sizes did you get? pair of 21" or 21"/22"?
If I select a 2002 S4 (avant or sedan), Tirerack's page lists out two different items to select:
21" Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blade(EA)
Notes: 21" Passenger side wiper.
22" Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blade(EA)
Notes: 22" Driver side wiper.
But if I select either a 2000 or 2001 S4, then it gives me this result:
21" Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blade(EA)
Notes: 21" Driver side wiper. 21" Passenger side wiper. This application will work on either the driver or passenger side of vehicle. Wipers are sold individually.
Has anyone used these Valeo wipers before and have a suggestion of which (a pair of 21" versus one 21", one 22") works better?<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Faccessories%2Fvaleo%2Fultim ate.jsp">http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Faccessories%2Fvaleo%2Fultim ate.jsp</a</li></ul>

I just did this. I went with 21"pass'-22"driv'. I went with the Trico winters. Much
better IMHO. It's a good fit as far as the length. 21" or 22" works, but 22" on both sides will be too long.

Pic your brand, and get 1-21" and 1-22". That's that ;-)

I have them, but I don't recall if I have a 22" on the drivers side. I've had them for
a year or so now. You should be fine with either 21" on both or 22" driver and 21" pass. Overall decent in snow. I've actually no replaced my rear wiper with a 17" aero on my avant and my wife's XC.

Hmm, I measured the rear wiper and it's a 15" now, and I don't have much clearance w/ RS4 spoiler
My golf's wiper is 13.5" and gets really close to the paint. So for now, I just got the fronts.
Also, I guess there is a universal-fit version as well as a car-specific one, so I'll check my local stores to see if they have them in stock so I can verify fitment first.
