Rating 4.5

I've had RedBox's before on my VR6 (actually still on it right now, have to fix that!) and I've managed to make them fade with HARD street use. Albeit it was a really spirited drive through the country, but they started to go after some very high to low speed decels. I would NOT attempt to take these pads to a track day, they would vaporize. I know a few people that tried to use them with not so good results. It's a nice pad for mild street use, but you probably want something beefier. I've heard alot of good things about the EBC Green pads as well as the Hawks. I have the Hawks to go onto my Rabbit shortly, and have heard nothing but rave reviews for them. If they work out well on that, they'll make it to the VR6. As for fluid, anything DOT4 should work well, and I've never had a problem with the ATE superblue. I'm using the Castrol brakefluid in my Rabbit because my uncle (and alot of guys in Porsche club) swear by it. It's easier to find so I'm giving that a shot as well. Pedal feel is determined mostly by how well you bleed the brakes, other than a caliper change. So, it's going to be the same as now, unless you switch to a 4pot caliper.

Pros: swear by it
Cons: easier to find
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Castrol Engine oil

Castrol Syntec 5W50 is what I use in my car, and it didn't burn any more oil or leak at all when I made the switch at around 123,000 miles... I change it every 4,500 miles or so..

Pros: no leaks, no burning
Mileage: 123000 km

Pros: solved temperature issue
