No experience with the b16s but I went from lowering springs on stock struts to lowering springs on b8s and it made a world of a difference.
I’m running the pirellis. Fantastic tire, they are a new all season tire and are pretty much the same as the contis. Pirellis has multiple different types of all seasons that are genuinely pretty bad but these ones are really good. Quiet, comfortable and can grip the road so very well. I was hesitant when I was buying them as I was looking at the contis since it’s been on the market much longer but I’m really happy I went with the pirellis. Either way you cannot go wrong.
For reference I’m running this on a built golf r pushing over 4xx hp and they are fantastic, they feel much better than the indy500’s I was running before and they feel identical to the dws cars I’ve been in.
Motul is a good oil but i stuck with the OEM stuff when i replaced my clutch
I\u2019ve done this method for 10 years on my tuned 15\u2019 Golf TSI. Since brand new to 150k miles. I change the filter every other oil change... The factory filters are rated for 10,000 miles I don\u2019t see an issue but I do have an issue of leaving oil in that long, which is why I changed it at 5000 mile intervals.
pilot sport series tires are the truth. i put them on a regular golf and it was insane the difference they made.
'24 Golf R that came with Hankooks. Just hit 14k miles and they're still going with about 4/32nd's left. Definitely getting louder as the tread goes lower. Overall, not terrible tires but don't have a lot of feel and grip is reasonable.
I was running stock Bridgestones - they’re 240 TW. They’re street tires and I don’t think I do enough track days to go w a more track oriented tire. They felt quite good on track. Not great. Good.
Aftermarkets (especially APR/MST) are reported to fail often, like *very* often.
I think one of my front strut mounts is starting to VW already. Stupid things.
