AMSOIL Engine oil
barspinsteve

Girling Brake caliper
Dutchsider
  • Uneven wear:
Rating 4.0

I had this retrofit on my Jetta and I was a big fan of it. The unsprung weight complaint I find to be a bit much. As stated above, the weight difference isn't exceptional. The gain here is that you have a greater surface area of clamping force with the addition of an extra caliper piston. Overall, the cost/benefit of this setup is great.

Pros: greater clamping force, cost benefit great
Cons: unsprung weight complaint

RED LINE Gear oil

I will add this, I drove it for 10-15 miles already, and where as the transmission had a bit of a whine at 65 before, now it is really quiet. And it may be placebo effect, but it does feel like it goes into gear smoother than before.

Pros: quieter transmission, smoother gear changes
Cons: placebo effect possible

MICHELIN Tires
The Razor
  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 5.0

I have Michelin PA3 now and used them last winter. Not problems at all, they are definitely great on snow, ice, AND tarmac. They feel very very close to the stock AS and don't eat too much fuel economy.

Pros: great on snow, ice
Cons: close to stock AS
Vehicle: Volkswagen

rainx Wiper blades
playstationer
  • Wipe quality:
  • Streaks/chatter:
Rating 3.0

I currently have a set of Rain X blades on mine from Walmart, they were a PITA to install, but once installed they've been decent, they're starting to streak already, which is disappointing.

Pros: decent performance
Cons: hard to install, streaking

DUNLOP Tires
g60racer
  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 2.0

I ran them on my R32, lasted about 20k miles. I was not impressed with them. Not sticky enough of a tire to have so short a tread life, not cheap enough either. I expected a hard tire that would last me awhile, and I got a hard tire that wore out at the same rate as a Toyo R-compound tire. Will not be buying Direzzas again. For the same price range I'd stick with Kuhmo's or Falken Ziex.

Cons: short tread life, not sticky
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 32186 km
