Nexen Tires

I run these on my R in the winter in 235/40r18. They do fine in midwest winters. Handled about 4-5 inches of snow, some slush, some freezing rain/ice. No complaints from me for the price

Pros: fine in midwest winters
Cons: handled snow and ice

KONI Shock absorbers
azgli
  • Body bounce:
  • Bottoming:
Rating 5.0

I've been running them on my MK6 for about 40K miles. I'll never go back to standard shocks and struts. The adaptive dampening is a huge benefit on freeway drives since the expansion joints are completely removed from the ride. They are solid and planted for everyday driving and I've never felt the car was unstable.

Pros: adaptive dampening benefit
Cons: had to replace struts
Mileage: 64000 km

KONI Shock absorbers

I'm running Koni special actives on stock springs with 17" tires. There are a few threads over at https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php where it's pretty much agreed that they are OEM+. I put them in about a year ago and they are still great.

Pros: still great, OEM+
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I have them on my ‘15 and I really like them so far. I’ve done 11k miles since I put them on. They are stiffer than oem but they soften up nicely with large impacts.

Pros: soften up nicely
Cons: stiffer than oem

WAGNER Brake caliper

I have these exact parts installed on my Jetta TDI MKiv. Excellent fit finish and performance. Quiet smooth braking. The Wagner Calipers are particularly fine. Love the tech support from Wagner and Power Stop.

Pros: Excellent fit and performance
Cons: none

OEM Volkswagen Timing belt

For context i bought a 2008 passat estate with 149,000 miles on it for a 27 miles each way commute 3 years ago.

I got it and did a timing belt change straight away which was preventative and for peace of mind.

Pros: peace of mind
Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Pros: preventative maintenance
Cons: replaced water pumps, abs unit
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 110000 km

Continental Tires

Oh heck no to the Conti's unless you like a super soft sidewall that likes to bubble when it passes by a pothole let alone hits one. I don't get the fascination with them other than the price. I ran them on my old GLI and they were neither good in the rain/cold nor really all the special in the dry.

Pros: value piece is big
Cons: super soft sidewall
Vehicle: Volkswagen
