I buy Bosch for my 2017 GTI every time and they fit better than any other brand. My wipers “hide” when not in use and all other brands always still show. The Bosch set takes 2 minutes to swap out.
Front strut mounts: at 8947 miles. Only happened after warm up. Covered under warranty has not happened since.
I ran 3 sets of the FK510 on my Golf. They were really good as an all around tire. On the track, they were very grippy and didn't get greasy very easily.
EBC Reds. I would check the rotors though, because if your pads are thin there’s a very good chance the rotors will need replacing too. In which case you may as well go Zimmerman rotors and EBC reds.
On my 2016 GTI with 211K on it, the only oil used was Liquimoly. From 0 miles to 200K miles it burned a quart every 3500 miles and that never changed at all.
Drove it for a day and the alternator crapped out. Installed a new one asap.
I have the kit from darkside on my mk7 (organic plates, “HD DMF”), Malone stage 2. Have about 100k on it since install, no issues or slipping. Clutch pedal is definitely heavier than stock. If you get on it in low rpms, there is still some dmf shudder.
I just got the G max RS on my Mk 7 from a dealer. Don’t know too much about track performance but they’re grippy if a little loud while on the highway.
I swapped out the rear pads on my 2017 Mk7 Golf R following the instructions for doing so with OBD Eleven Pro to a "t" and still wound up with a plethora of error codes. I installed new (Ferrodo) pads
So I bought a new alternator off of Rock Auto that I was amazed that I had to re-use my old pulley? But when I went to put the pulley on, the nut stripped on the new alternator like instantly. The whole ordeal is trash
