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.
For pads I went with OE quality ones as they were under half the price of VW and a decent brand.
Another plug to give a try if you want to stay stock heat range - NGK's Ruthenium plugs LFER7BHX . Call it a placebo effect but after install cold start idle sure felt smoother and after 4000 miles they're running as good today as day one, gas mileage has been pretty good as well around 31 mpg +-1mpg @ 75mph. No cold start misfires. Overall a pretty solid plug for this engine and it's reasonably priced.
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 would drain that oil with the Marvel in it and use use 0w-40 Castrol Full Synthetic (Made in Germany/Belgium). You can get a 5 quart jug at Wal-Mart for less than $25 usually. It's probably the best "over the counter" oil you can use in a VR6. Widely used and highly recommended.
These shocks replaced a 40k mile set of Koni yellows, which I always thought were a little stiff for the street though performed well the few times I had them on the track. My setup is what I thought it should have felt like from the factory. Great daily driver with all the control I need blasting the back roads. Doesn't crash over bumps and the damping is about perfect.
I like hawk ceramics and zimmerman z coat rotors.
Changed over to winter tires (Blizzak) around Thanksgiving and put about 10K miles on them over the winter. No issues, handles great.
Easier said than done to install the B6 fuel pump into the corrado tank. The pump fits but the top flange's outer edge needs to be ground to fit the locking collar. Then the inside diameter of the locking collar has to be opened up.
Just checked mine 5 minutes ago. I have a 2016 Autobahn with PP. I don't have this feature.
