Mann Oil filter

I've used both Hengst and Mann over the years and never had a problem with either. Although I've noticed the Mann filters seem to look a little more "used" when the come out for some reason.

Pros: never had a problem
Cons: look more used
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Rating 5.0

I installed a set of Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3's. This is a quick review of my thoughts on the handling and performance, so far. Wet Grip: Amazingly capable. Dry Grip: The tires grip reasonably well. Snow Grip: Amazing. Truly amazing. Ice Grip: grip was still very good. Low-speed Handling: I am fairly impressed with how these handle. High-speed Stability: Well, these are winter tires and feel well-suited to a sedan driven in a commuting style. Noise: None, so far. Comfort: Still, these are quite comfortable.

Pros: amazingly capable wet grip, amazing snow grip
Cons: a bit soft in corners
Mileage: 500 km

Bilstein Shock absorbers

i run bilstein sports w/ cut springs and spring spacers up front and kyb gr2 w/ cut springs and spring spacers in the rear-stock swaybars and car oversteers predictably on all surfaces w/ very very little roll-ground clearance is down a little but i can still drive straight over a curb and have jumped the car high enough that it cut off when i landed w/o any weird rebounding or harsh bottoming-run bump stops in the rear because the the travel of rear shock is less than what it is when it's on the dsm cars-kyb also make an adjustable shock-agx-hack job that works better than anything else i've experienced

Pros: predictable oversteer, little roll
Cons: ground clearance down a little
Vehicle: Volkswagen

DUNLOP Tires

Not much noise, but have seen an uneven wear pattern, even with periodic tire rotation. For my Passat, at least, the rear tire position begins to create a "finned edge" to the shoulders of the tire.

Pros: not much noise
Cons: uneven wear pattern
