Volkswagen Golf parts reviews

love the lights...the real thing with the hella!

i like. mostly b/c its hella and not a no name brand...

They are quality, and that always counts. Hella is amazing. Those celis headlights up above look much better than all the other knockoff wannabe headlights that try to incorporate that technology and look.

I run 245/40/17 Michelin Pilot sport cups on 17x8" Et 35 rims with stock springs -> no rubbing

i have this setup actually.. on my 2.0. zimmerman crossdrilled and ebc greenstuff. the concensus is that for most city and highway driving, solid rotors are best, more braking surface = better stopping. however, my setup really BITES for 10.1" rotors... i just m ainly got the crossdrilleds for looks

Although it is just an 8V, I run my GTi hard at autocross and road race events. I still have the 9.4\" brakes up front. I just upgraded with SS lines, ATE super blue fluid, ATE power disks, and a ceramic compound pad. They stop great and have not shown any signs of fade.

First of all, you can run the G60 (Girling 54) fronts with rear disk on a 20mm master cylinder with no problem. I am running that setup right now. That being said, yes, the pedal feel would be nicer with a 22mm master, but the 20mm will work also.

I also have a 2.0 and run the valvoline synthetic. I started after 2500m and am currently at 29k. No scientific results here other than keeping track of mileage in a little notebook and looking back at the first month compared to the most recent - I'm averaging about 7mpg more.

If you are doin competition, yeah, EBC pads and slotted / drilled are worthwhile, but for mere performance road use, there's no point (except for looks). The rotors wear faster, create more dust, and the pads, whilst they may not create as much dust, will squeal.

I have Mintex Reds right now. Don't really care for them.
