My plan is to get the Eibach Pro-Kit with Bilstein B8 shocks/struts for my 2017 Golf Sportwagen. It's a decent amount of lowering 1.4" front and 1.2" rear. A lot of great reviews here and elsewhere on this combination.

Just had mine replaced in my 2019. Used Pilkington as well and I can’t tell the difference from the OEM glass.
Safelite replaced the glass on my 2019 r. You 100% do not want the generic it will not fit and line up properly. I got and oem Pilkington glass and it fit perfect factory I had saint gobain.
New stuff i attended to. checked cleaned and pull apart the Warm up regulator. Was not clogged or dirty. worked fine. replaced the fuel filter, which i did notice was a little crummy. but normal.
Trunk lid opens automatically now...
I got some Castrol Edge Titanium FST 0W40 which is VW502 00 approved. I decided to try this oil as their name is on the oil filler cap, as in the past with other cars I always used Mobil 1 0W40.

Good news is that none of the sensors leak out from the O-ring seal with the new tank, so I do think there could have been a problem with the yellowed out old tank, perhaps slightly warped/deformed.
I am doing the same thing right now to replace my throttle body (apparently the electronics or mechanism are toast). I have removed the throttle body a few times and it is one of my least favorites.
I had been looking for a secondhand setup and got a great deal on these. I likely would not have chosen the Nankangs myself. Wet traction is awful, and I break loose from stoplights in dry conditions really often.
