Volkswagen parts reviews

I just installed Mintex red box pads on my 337 and can't complain. They work just as well as the factory pads and it is a trip to not see the reddish dust on the RCs.

I had crossdrilled corrado g60 brakes with mintex metallic pads on my yellow cabriolet and it was impressive, stop like hitting a wall

After the warm up period I had the opportunity to really slam down on these things. wow. Quite grippy and doesn't seem to shift the weight to the front as much as the old stock brakes. The brakes do not pull to one side or the other as was common with my old warped stock stuff. Braking around corners is much more predictable partially due to the improved pedal modulation and feel. I've yet to track this setup, but I presume that it will do quite nicely. The slotting appears to eat my mintex redbox pads according to the abundance of brake pad particles stuck to my rims. Gonna have to keep an eye on it.

as far as I know TRW is the OE Manufacturer for VW. I would go with TRW over any other company.

i put a heatrange colder (bosch FR6 because i can't get the ngk's local) in my bro's chipped 337 and it ran a lot smoother

Put in 4.0 US Qts. of 0W-40 Mobil 1 (extra due to larger filter). Started the car briefly to check for leaks. Based on my measurement, with the new larger filter, 4.0 quarts will bring you to about 60% up the crosshatching on the dipstick. So, I added another 1/4 quart (8 oz) and that seemed to bring it right to the top. So, 4.25 quarts is what I will be going with in the future.

I was actually using the C carriers and 11rotors with my G/J calipers for a few months. I was waiting for my SS lines and pads, I didn't need to bleed the brakes.

I started from stock Cabbie and put immediatelly anti-sport modification: Bilstein Comfort shock absorbers. It is way smooth. It feels like Caddilac.

Not a whole lot of difference, that is until you swiss cheese the air box!

I switched to the dealer filter and I will never go back to a Fram. Before my oil pressure when warmed up would not go above 2bar now it does what it is supposed to.
