Volkswagen Golf parts reviews

Since the last time I posted, Anthony installed the Pilkington FW4119 glass on my car. He was right--it was completely free of any distortions, haziness, or warps.

I now have 18" wheels and tires to replace the base car's 17" and that was all that was needed, good Michelins as well.

I’m planning on giving All Weather tires a try myself. I will be going with Nokian WR G4 in the 195 65 15 91H size for my base model GSW S. All Weather tires are definitely a step up from all season tires in the Winter.

Brisks are throwaways that need regular attention by either regapping them every few thousand miles or replacing. You can run NGK 7437-9s for 20k in a stage 2 car without touching them. There's a big price difference so you get what you pay for.

I had an issue with the inner pads sticking on my Golf (same as A3 platform), but when I took apart the caliper and cleaned/regreased all the caliper pins the problem went away. If you've already done that, I really have no idea what it could be. It's definitely not normal though. What pads/rotors are you using? I've been using the Akebono's and they are great. Very little wear and dust.

I installed EBC Redstuff pads on stock rotors... Well pretty happy with that so far. I just finished the break-in period. Better initial bite than OEM TRW pads. And little more braking power overall.

The 4S's are defnitely great tires. I've had them on my Golf R since April (replacing a worn out set of PSS's)....very impressed. The grip is just awesome

I went EBC red stuff with slotted single piece rotors. They are okay, but not more than that. I pretty regularly drive them to fade on the street (I live in a very lightly populated rural area with lots of twisty roads).

I have a 2016 Golf S AT, and love it, except for the 15" Bridgestone Ecopias which are terrible tires.
