Volkswagen Golf parts reviews

I also went with Koni STRs on H and R springs with powerflex 10mm lowering strut bushing and its a dream to drive. It takes these northeastern new york country roads in strides. Its never bottomed out. And the quality of the suspension just makes it a dream to drive. I drive it hard and it takes it.

I did Koni Yellows set to softest dampening and H&R Sport Springs. Amazing handling, nice comfy ride.... until the roads get rough and they do frequently in CT. Manhole covers which always seem to be a mile below the surface are horrible... yes I always try and avoid but sometimes you can't.

I believe Bilstein has a B4 version that will fit front and back and also a B6 rear inset. Probably the best option for OP. Rebound damping on stock shocks is the biggest issue.

I think ATE Type 200 is just fine or at least I never had an issue running with race pads and even when the rubber dust booth at the piston was on fire I still did not have any boiling.

I used my stock tires 15k mi + 6 track days + 2 driver skill courses - brake fluid (Motul RBF600) - brake pads (I used Ferodo DS2500 on the fronts)

RainX 2 in 1 for me. A bit bulky but damn do they work like a charm and last

I got Rain-X, but they have been great, its been almost 2 years now too. I can't imagine paying much more than what the Rain-X were already being necessary really, unless maybe you are in chronically icy/snowy area.

Stock rotors are cheap and effective anything bigger is just for show.

I'm running stop-tech sport pads and easily have eaten away 50% of the pad after 1 track-day - which I skipped two sessions of.

I also bought EBC YellowStuff last year, and they promptly broke several springs which lead to hugely annoying rattle noises when driving over bumps.
