Volkswagen parts reviews

I have scirocco 10.1's up front and 8(?) discs out back with mk4 calipers. All four have Hawk HPS pads I believe. They're more than enough stopping power, OEM, and very affordable if you buy them on vortex, ebay, or a junkyard.

I almost doubled the HP on my gti, and the stock brakes worked fine. Just upgrade to vented regular stock brake set up.

I installed EBC Red pads about 2 weeks ago. I don't have any squeaking problems, pedal is super stiff and grabs incredibly fast. The dust is really low in comparison to the stock pads. At this point my white wheels would be covered in black. The dust on there now is acceptable in my opinion. I know others don't like the EBC brakes. So far, I'm very happy with them. Hope this helps you.

I was also running the over sized Mann filter with 5qts. I was originally running an APR tune @ 16psi with this setup and it seemed fine for the 8-9k miles i was using that tune.

My 2015 GSW had to have A/C compressor replaced at about 5000 miles.

my Contipros are great at 34 psi

Got the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX rear struts in last night. All I've got to say is wow. Talk about an amazing ride. The KYB AGX dampening adjustable struts are an incredible strut for the money. I played around with the dampening adjustment during my drive and you can completely change the feel in the rear of the car with just a few clicks of the adjustment knob.

I have the Hankooks as well and overall I like them. we have pretty smooth roads around here so they are pretty quiet. I didn't have any issues during this past El Niño.

I went with some Meyle HD's that I got from the UK for about half what a set of Koni's were going to cost me even during their sale. So far so good, they ride really pretty well, I would have likes a bit more rebound dampening but I'm a fan of Koni yellows on full stiff on most of the VW's I've setup for myself.

Car towed to different out of town VW dealer, who say the "Front Haldex/Transfer case" failed internally, replacing under extended warranty with sealed unit shipping from Germany.
