Brembo Brake pads
osin34
  • Braking:
Rating 5.0

This years projects are all done.. finally got the rear big brakes finished and they came out great.. a lot of work but, brake pedal feel is just as good as with the fronts only, and this thing will make your teeth fly out when you put them down.

Pros: great brake pedal feel
Cons: a lot of work
Vehicle: Volkswagen

BFGoodrich Tires
Alpha-3
  • Grip:
  • Noise:
Rating 4.5

I have these tires on my GTI, and love them - now on my second set. The first set lasted me over 45k miles. They got noisy at the end of their life, but they're great in wet weather, and all around grip is excellent.

Pros: great wet weather, excellent grip, good lifespan
Cons: noisy at end of life
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 45000 km

Cooper Tires

The Atlas does a solid job with a little lift (mine is the Forge Motorsports 1.5" [3.8 cm] spacer lift) and some good all-terrain tires (Cooper Discoverer AT3-4S on 17" x 8" rims; 235/75R17s).

Pros: solid job, good tires
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 46500 km

VDO Fuel pump

I purchased my new pump from FCPEuro - highly recommend them - it was "aftermarket" but was the same brand (VDO, a division of Continental) as the original, and was reasonably priced at a little over $200.

Pros: reasonably priced

GODSPEED Engine radiator

Regarding the aluminum radiator, yes aluminum is better than nylon 6/6 or whatever zytel sh!t from Dupont VW lines the engine bay with. However, none of the aluminum rads Ive seen actually fit a Corrado. I tried to install a Godspeed version. It was gob welded chinese garbage but still probably much better than the OEM plastic. It was off in every dimension, would of required taking a hacksaw to the front end of the Corrado.

Pros: aluminum is better
Cons: gob welded chinese garbage
Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado
