Hawk HPS 5.0 HB544B.628 HB625B.760 Edwin Mangune from Hawk Performance Products Group recommends these for our Golf R.
I bought a 5 Liter Bottle of Pentosin SAE 5W-40 Pento High Performance II Motor Oil from O’Reilly Auto Parts for $50.75. This API SN/CF and ACEA C3 Rated Oil complies with VW-Specification 502 00/505 00/505 01 and is Made in Germany.
However I have Carbotech brake pads, the 1521's for the street and then for the track day I had XP12 (front) XP10 (rear). Pads are compatible with the rotor, and I had the track pads well bedded in.
Just the bigger carrier with the bigger rotors on the front. Didn't bother with bigger for the rears. I bought Red Stuff pads.
The 8100 X-Cess. It has actually improved my fuel economy!
I also currently have EBC red installed with golf R retaining clips and tyrol sport brake caliper stiffening kit and tyrol sport stainless steal brake lines and the noise was not present until maybe around 8,000 miles into the new pads. The car still stopped on a dime, thats all I was really concerned about.
nobody mentioned Carbotech 1521 yet? they are pricey but work really well for a DD and have low dust.
My buddies R with HRE FF01's and AP Racing 6 piston brakes.
Bosch rebuilt alternators are like $175 online. Lots of people experienced low quality rebuilts. Have people had good luck with Bosch rebuilts?
I've been running these plugs for over a year and a half and hate em, I guess when I got them I wanted new fresh plugs for a hot climate but should have taken them out immediately as there was noticeable power loss. I'm looking to go back to stock now as the car really ran much better. This is an unmodded 08 gti.
