Bilstein Shock absorbers
Clayrace24
  • Bottoming:
Rating 4.0

I tried this as one of four combinations of suspension on my 2015 GSW TDI. The B8's and Eibach Pro combo lowered my car about 1 1/2 \" front and rear. The handling was awesome but a bid too firm for the bad roads in my town...I'm getting soft in my old age. I loved the way the car looked.

Pros: awesome handling, good look
Cons: too firm for bad roads
Mileage: 3800 km
Part number: 35-229902

Pirelli Tires
MoreOrLessCorrect
  • Noise:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.5

I honestly look forward to swapping to my downsized 205/55 16 winter tires (GSW) because they're noticeably less harsh and quieter than the stock 45 series Pirelli P7s on rougher roads.

Pros: less harsh, quieter

KONI Shock absorbers
Latte-Fun
  • Body bounce:
  • Bottoming:
Rating 4.5

Just passed the 1,000 mile mark on these and thought I'd share my thoughts on this innovative shock from Koni. Marketed as a "jack-of-all-trades" sport shock with bypass valves for a smooth ride over harsh roads and flatter cornering. Initially, the ride felt slightly firmer than stock, but over time, I noticed it's smoother over bumps and rough jolts. The car feels like a more premium German Sports Car. Big jolts are ironed out noticeably, making it smoother than stock, even if not softer. Slight waves are more noticeable as they don't activate bypass valves. Koni's add stability, preventing the car from being upset by mid-corner bumps. Overall rating on KONI's: 8.5/10. They are somewhat firmer but handle rough roads better and ride "richer" and more premium overall.

Pros: smoother over bumps, improved stability, premium feel
Cons: slightly firmer than stock, subtle waves noticeable
Mileage: 1600 km

MOTUL Engine oil

I recently ordered my 5W-40 Motul 8100 X-cess oil for my 2016 Golf R and the label changed and it now says "gen 2" on the front. It appears the first version of this will remain available for some time but Gen 2 is backwards compatible and still VW 502 spec and is safe to use but this version specifically addresses euro 5 / Euro 6 emissions on newer low displacement, forced induction vehicles that are putting down high horsepower so this oil is an improvement for the EA888

Pros: improvement for the EA888

BRISK Spark plug

I have used Rs7 plugs (meh), the APR recommended NGK plugs (rough idle, gapped correctly), and the Brisk ER12S. I'm on my second set of the Brisk, and plan to keep using them.

Pros: cheap enough
Cons: change them at 10k
Mileage: 10000 km
