Volkswagen parts reviews

I installed MOOG Tie rods.

I recently put Bilstein B-6 in car and it was a marked improvement over my OEM ones..I have a 2017 GLI..I just felt that the stock suspension wasn't that great..I am not lowered. With OEM.. I felt every bump..but worse, I heard every bump..suspension was to me..noisey.

my 17-yo, 168k Golf 2.0 gets 5/30 full synthetic and either WIX or Bosch filters.

I got the Bilstein B6 on the other morning before work, so I have only 2 days experience with them. It was a substantial change, and I'm sure I will struggle to describe what I feel. First thing - the OEM shocks have less damping. You can push on them easily, and even feel air bubbles and inconsistancies. The B6 takes quite a bit more force to push down, has way more damping, and is perfectly smooth everywhere; It clearly feels like a more expensive product in my hands.

Speaking of cheap tires, I recently switched my tired old 41k mile Sumitomo ZIII with these $43 in 225/45 17 Riken raptor ZR and quite surprised how well they are. They grip as good as my ZIII did, way quieter and rain performance was fantastic. I was hesitant at first until I read reviews on tirerack phrasing these are great tires and they are definitely good. I also learned Riken is part of the Michelin tires company so its probably of decent build quality.

Yup! I run these as part of my summer-only wheel and tire package on my Sportwagen here in CO. My car is just a daily driver that I don't push particularly hard and these tires exceed my expectations. Not noisy and plenty of grip. Fine in wet too though we don't get a whole lot of rain and standing water around here. I've only run them one season so far but if they keep performing like they have, I'll continue to buy them.

Firehawk Indy's 500's superb summer tires! Hello, I had them running first on my 06' GLI then when I sold that I put them on my 08' Audi A3. Love the tires!

indy 500s I'm running them on my wifes Jetta and I just got my set on my Mazda 3. I love the grip, it's quiet and pretty good in the rain. I had the BFG COMP A/S but these seem better.

The starter in my GTI died and I had to push start it. It worked fine but I had a few lights on the dashboard (ESP and something else I think). The starter was the only thing wrong with the car so I think the lights were related to not turning the key to start it.

I had Pirelli Winter Carving Edge tires on my MK6 for four winters - they sucked!
