NOCO Jump starter
harleygnuya
  • Starting reliability:
Rating 5.0

I've been using the NOCO Genius Boost Plus GB40 for almost 4 years now. It has started my Mk VI GTI with shaved heads and high compression pistons in the Winter with a completely dead battery. I never worry about being able to start my car.

Pros: starts car with dead battery
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Zimmermann Brake discs
Faio
  • Braking:
Rating 5.0

I'm running their sport pads with Zimmerman cross drilled rotors. The Zimmerman rotors are significantly cheaper for the same consumable. Very happy with my setup and I would repeat it in the future

Pros: very happy with setup
Cons: rotors cheaper
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mahle Oil filter

Yeah, the first thing I did was an oil change. I put liqui moly 5w-40 in the car and the oil level is top of the dipstick (EDIT: within the max/min level on the dipstick, top of max, I should specify). I put a Mahle filter in there as well.

Pros: oil level at max
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Bilstein Strut assembly
Peylix
  • Bounce:
Rating 5.0

B8's are great. I run them on my MK7. But they need to be paired with more aggressive springs as the B8's are a shorter & stiffer strut. So softer springs will often bottom them out.

Like H&R Sports. Those are a popular combo with the B8 strut.

Yes, you'll notice a difference. As the car will have proper damping. Ride won't be as harsh, bumps won't be bouncy, cornering will be more definitive & sharp.

Pros: proper damping, sharp cornering
Cons: need aggressive springs
