i have them on my 1998 Golf GTI What i have used since 3 months: ... R1 concepts brake discs (not a famous brand but really nice discs) And then it's plug and play. Pedal feel is very good and it brakes very good!
I'm in LA and I use castrol oe professional 5w-40 on my rebuilt 16v. The best oil I've used so far in my mk2 and I've tried a lot (Rotella t6 5w-40 Mobil 1 15w-50 and Total Elf 5w-40) all synthetics. Try it out. You won't be disappointed.
Per VAG-COM, 5,7xx miles and 372 days on this filter (Mann as I posted above): Looks fine to me!
Michelin Primacy MXM4 in 235/40/18 is exactly what I would do! I did similar with 17" wheels on my MKVI TDI and then my friend did it with the 18" wheels on his MKVI GTI. As for the Primacy MXM4, I love them. I've had mine for about 55K miles now and will be replacing them with the exact same thing when the time comes pretty soon, before the winter hits in Pennsylvania. But the tires really have lasted well and they are as quiet and comfortable as any tire I have ever had on a car.
ROTELLA T6 - Instantly i noticed a very nice purr from the motor. Its a heavy oil and with stabilizer (in this case thinner than the oil) It warmed up slower, meaning that it was absorbing more heat. No extra start up noise at all. The biggest gain from the Rotella was hot weather stability. It seemed to perform the best when you drove the car hard! Hot weather didnt affect the engines power anymore, and that made me really happy. Turbo lag was increased slightly, and the engine revved slightly slower, but remained perfectly stable. I loved this oil for protection, its really good for hot weather!
Girling 60 on the Mk III 4x100 is the best bolt on bang for the buck. Make sure you get the girling 60 brackets/carriers too.
i changed the plugs out for oem replacement NGK plugs (it had bosch platimun +2 in it) and a set of wires. and it ran just fine it was fixed. i then decided to swap my other coilpack back in and it ran fine no issues at all.
I have 17x8 RPF1's with 245/40 R17 Hankook V12's and I have no problems with rubbing. Final et is 35 in the front and 30 in the rear on my car. I'm also lowered on ST Coils to about a 2 finger gap all around.
I have heard you can run manual steering equipped canadian mk3 tie rod arms/rods. Part#'s: 1H0 419 803 ... left side 1H0 419 804 .... right Last time I checked they were quite pricey.
Put the correct spark plugs in there (NGK BKUR6ET-10 for AEG), throw those Bosch +4 turds in the bin where they belong.
