KONI Strut assembly

They make Koni Yellows for the MK1. I loved them on my Corrado SLC. The Koni Yellows for the Corrado SLC were entire struts for the front. I set them right in the middle on stock springs. They were comfortable and it handled as well as my '78 Scirocco on +0 wheels and tires. I like that you could tighten them up if you wanted them stiffer or soften them for a cushy ride. Right in the middle was comfortable on the potholed streets of Hampton Roads but it still cornered like it was on rails.

Pros: comfortable, cornered like rails

Duralast Brake discs
801
  • Braking:
  • Vibration:
Rating 1.0

I did the fronts with \"Duralast.\" They produced a HORRIBLE shudder when braking. I replaced them with the same this and the issue was the same. So, I bought OEM pads/rotors and the issued COMPLETELY went away.

Cons: horrible shudder when braking
Vehicle: Volkswagen

POWER STOP Brake discs
MuggyTDI
  • Braking:
  • Vibration:
Rating 1.0

FWIW - I purchased a complete set of PowerStop Slotted and Cross-Drilled rotors and included pads for my 14 TDI SE along with ECS Stainless brake lines. I also flushed the fluid. No noticeable difference at all. And one disappointment that really bothered me was during an event it felt like the rotors were warping very early on and I was afraid I was going to ruin them for the rest of the event. However, the pulsing settled down as I learned to go easier on them.

Cons: rotors warping very early
