OEM Volkswagen Mirrors
Deangus
  • Adjustment:
Rating 4.0

I've done the following and confirmed that they seem to be working: Windows up/down with remote. Mirror dips in reverse and returns; returns a little high but that seems to be a known issue without the folding mirrors w/memory.

Pros: Windows up/down with remote
Cons: returns a little high
Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

OEM Toyota Power steering pump
vitamin C
  • Steering effort:
Rating 5.0

Ended up picking up the MR2 mk3 all in one unit and will be plumbing it up to the steering rack, using the VSS signal to control the pump. I am pretty excited about this as some weight will be eliminated and shifted back as well.

Pros: weight eliminated, shifted back
Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado

EBC Brake pads
drphoto
  • Braking:
Rating 4.0

I also upgraded brakes to Optimal brand e-cote rotors and EBC Red street/performance pads. A nice improvement in brake feel and the new rotors look better, but hardly necessary.

Pros: improved brake feel
Cons: hardly necessary

OPTIMA Battery

I have become a BIG fan of yellow top optima batteries. Mine tests out OVER 1000 CCA (only about a year old) sealed- Acid can never leak out. Deep cycle, you can run it dead without damage. Good warranty, The the batteries are built to take extreme vibrations, and have a superior design to connect the plates inside with a more solid connection.

Pros: sealed, deep cycle
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Kumho Tires

Since last time you saw it I upgraded the brakes to 312mm rotors with ATE 57 calipers in front and 256mm disk brakes in the rear and replaced the heavy Mercedes replica 18" wheels with BBS RK's in 8J 17 wrapped in sticky kumho KU-36 rubber.

Pros: sticky Kumho rubber
Cons: heavy Mercedes replica
Vehicle: Volkswagen

GENERAL TIRE Tires

Right now I'm running [General Tire Altimax R43s](http://generaltire.com/tires/passenger-and-minivan/altimax-rt43). Most people aren't familiar with General, even if they are one of the oldest tire companies out there.

Pros: fantastic bang for buck

OEM Volkswagen Battery
Kstyle
  • Lights:
Rating 1.0

Currently I actually own a 2005 V8 and it has been just short of a nightmare to maintain. First was the battery($400) then the headlights($200) then the Thermostat($900), then the horn($80) then timing belt, water pump, stripped drain plug, etc all within a year.

Cons: nightmare to maintain
Vehicle: Volkswagen Touareg
Mileage: 80000 km
