I replaced my plugs with NGKs about 10k miles ago, I got them on amazon for about $12 a plug I think, engine runs great with them.
That being said I've had Toyo tires a few times and I've been happy every time
Jim was not happy with the stiff set up and changed it to use Koni's. Koni's had much lighter rebound damping which Jim liked.
I have H&R race springs and bilstien sports on my GTI right now. They handle great and ride very very nice.
I've actually got the FK hightec springs/koni str.t combo, and love it. handles great, and (imo) looks really good.
DIY: a complete guide to convert your chipped 1.8T to run on E85 FlexFuel ethanol (4ceFed4) STEP 2: Siemens/Deka 630cc Injector Swap
Below are detailed instructions for the 4 steps needed for E85 conversion: installing a Walbro 255lph inline fuel pump
I decided to go with Castrol GT LMA. It was reasonably priced and should do the job just fine.
I just put on Hawk HP pads today on drilled & slotted rotors, and did a proper bed-in procedure. When they're heated up, they do stop nicely - however, they do completely lack the initial bite of the OEM brakes
You wanna avoid mintex red box these days. The passat pads have a slight problem with burning up under hard braking.
