I just put these on as summer tires and auto-x tires and the traction after they warm up a little bit is awesome. I used to have trouble even with the F1s spinning in second sometimes. With these I get pretty zero under hard acceleration.
I have a set on one of my Corrados and LOVE them. I've only had them for about 3000 miles so far, but dry grip/handling is amazing, and wet grip really isn't too bad at all. Standing water I would take it a bit slow, but even on a wet road after the rain, they grip/handle pretty well.
The tires are great in the rain, great in the dry, quiet and give a good ride quality. People have had bad luck with bubbles, yes, but I had no such luck in the past.

Actually, I changed my 85 Jetta from Delo 400 15W40 dino to Rotella T Synthetic 5W40 at 275K miles. Yes, you can do it.
they do a real nice job as far as function and I havent seen or heard any chatter after about 2 months, just wish the pass. side fit better.
today I installed a NGK BK7RE to my jetta, and it feels great. I like them a lot, considdering I haven't change my stock sparks .
They are exactly the same. Deka is half the price though. I've used a Deka in my buddies G60 that makes over 225whp on an 8v head with a lysholm, and it works great.
Had these on my car (GTI 337) front and rear for about half a year. As street pads, they're ok. Initial braking bite is good, pedal feel decent. Heavy rain is not good, first 1/2sec feels like there's no pads, then it slowly bites. You almost have to pump the brakes to get the water off the pads. Attended one HPDE event with them when I forgot to take my track pads. Bad idea. Pads overheated and faded by end of each 20min session.
Wilwoods suck.
