Rating 5.0

I installed a set of Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3's. This is a quick review of my thoughts on the handling and performance, so far. Wet Grip: Amazingly capable. Dry Grip: The tires grip reasonably well. Snow Grip: Amazing. Truly amazing. Ice Grip: grip was still very good. Low-speed Handling: I am fairly impressed with how these handle. High-speed Stability: Well, these are winter tires and feel well-suited to a sedan driven in a commuting style. Noise: None, so far. Comfort: Still, these are quite comfortable.

Pros: amazingly capable wet grip, amazing snow grip
Cons: a bit soft in corners
Mileage: 500 km

GRAF Water pump

I went with the Graf in my 95 passat glx. The graf has a cast iron impeller wheel. The stock one that was in there was plastic and some fins broke off when the pump failed

Pros: cast iron impeller wheel
Cons: plastic fins broke off
Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Rating 5.0

I picked them up on Oct. 1st. On the 3rd I washed the car, cleaned the windows with Invisible Glass, installed the new wipers and waited five days for it to rain to see how well they worked. Needless to say they work very well. It was raining fairly well when I left for work, one pass and the windshield was clear. No more skipping & chattering, but I suppose that would be true with most any new wipers.

Pros: windshield clear, no skipping

Rating 5.0

just installed the power disks and mintex redboxes on my 90 b3 passat. i drive \"spirited,\" (fast) as well, and from what ive felt, and heard, these rotors are nice. the way i look at it, if the are good for the new beetle cup car and lupo cup car, theyre good enough for me.

Pros: nice rotors, good for racing

Rating 1.0

About 10,000 miles ago, I would have been more positive. But now I'm at 40,000 miles now, and I'm ready to dump my '99 GLX at the next problem. - 25,000: rear brakes (my $) - 30,000: front brakes (my $)

Cons: premature wear items
Mileage: 64374 km
