I think the ones I just fitted on the front are TRW, they were significantly cheaper than the genuine parts I've previously bought, but the performance is at least as good, with less brake dust. There's a big difference between quality and cheap parts when it comes to brakes, cheaper rotors will be much more likely to warp.
Running 30.9" Cooper A/T3-4S (235/75R17) on 17x8" rims AND a 1.5" lift I wish I had gone bigger on my tires
The best experience I have made with the original wipers. I know, they are dearer than those in the aftermarket, but at least they clean 2 years without squeaking, skipping and so on. Those from the Mk4s can also be used on the Mk3.
Bosch Icon’s here - they work great
I got some Anco wiper blades for my mk3 jetta, I got them on rock auto for about $2 each. They're the high performance ones, I don't remember which ones though. They don't skip like the Bosch ones I had on it before did.
I have just replaced the oil and all 6 spark plugs with Bosch Double iridium.
I just put the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS on my Alltrack (225/45/18) and I really like them.
I went the other way - I've had scary brake fade a number of times on VW/Audis on the track in the past, and I wanted the "once and done" option when I picked up my Golf R earlier this year. So, worked with Achtuning to install a Stoptech ST60 355mm setup on the front, with stoptech rotors, pads, and SS lines all around. Pro Absolutely bulletproof on HPDEs. You simply don't worry about brake temps or soft pedals, you get 100% braking all day long.
Latter changed the ignition coils with genuine R8 coils and checked the plugs. The car improved again and response at 1400 RPM was better, but the engine still vibrates at idle.
After having these for a couple months I wouldn't recommend them. They are better than stock, but only barely.
