I went with Zimmerman rotors and the TRW nano-compound pads as I've read they bite like metallic with maybe 2/3 as much dust.

using good quality oil (generally liqui molly) seems to be very much recommended.
I went with Valvoline Xerex G40. BASF G40 is the equivalent of G12++. Valvoline/ZEREX G40 Euro Pink coolant meets this newest worldwide standard BASF G40 and German standard VW G12++ .
I replaced all coils with Bremi 20128 red tops and used liquid electric tape to reinsulate the exposed wire.
I went with LUK clutch kit part # 022141015T.
I just replaced coils with bosch, VW Ignition Coil Service Kit - Bremi 06E905115EBR2 , so far, works fine with no problem.
A $30 set of carbon ceramic powerstop pads will fix that.
Yes, my OEM blades became annoyingly loud over time. It sounded as if the blade itself was bending in the direction of the sweep every time and made this terrible clacking noise. I've since changed them to Bosch Icons as well and everything is okay.
The OEM wipers sucked on this thing, brand new they were making all kinds of noises and jumping all over the windshield, threw them hard against the back of the trash can and picked up a pair of bosch, now all is well in the world ????
I took some of the Chemical Guys "tire kicker tire shine" , sprayed on the pad and put a coat on all 4 tires. I drove for another week. Few days ago I was cleaning the car, and noticed the black tire splash marks on the lower part of the bumper. I wiped it off and noticed yellow stains underneath. I tried cleaning it for 30 minutes with everything I had, soap, clay, rubbing compound, tar remover, etc. Nothing worked. I then ended up going to my last resort and sanded the clear coat of the spots with 1500 grit sand paper, followed up 2500 and 3000 grit. I used the rotary buffer to cut and buff and bring the shine back. I was able to get them out completely. After extensive research on this I found out few facts: -Do not use petroleum (oil) based tire shine at all on white cars, it will stain your paint at some point. Only use water based tire shine (its more matte) -It was the chemical reaction of tire anti mold agent and petroleum tire shine that caused the stains. -It comes off metal painted pieces, its only plastic painted pieces that get stained (bumpers)
