I'm running Hawk Ceramic 5.0 brakes up front. They screech on the street but held up just fine on track.
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
I've got the TTRS brakes on my mk6. Good OEM+ option for you mk6 and mk7 guys. Direct bolt on. They help out a lot on the track. Stoptech pads for street and carbotech xp10 on track. EVO and STI pads fit as well.
From what I've read, the Indy 500s are superior to my stock tires in every way and are also $70/tire cheaper.
The winter tires - Michelins - got about 10k put on them.
I went to Art Center in Pasadena and used it for my commute to school. The rubber weather seals are starting to crack due to age and probably heat, but otherwise, its in great condition, but does not run. The BBS wheels were driven on for about a year with no curb rash. It has a Calloway turbo kit in it...one of the few remaining. I think that there are Bilstein shocks in it...which most items are probably not great anymore.
I had Blackstone do a Virgin Oil Analysis of Red Line 5w30 This sample of Red Line 5W/30 looks good in testing. The viscosity is just a little above our \"should-be\" range for unused 5W/30, but that's common to see with some brands, and it doesn't show any sort of problem or deficiency with this oil. The additive package is typical of Red Line. They use a lot of molybdenum anti-wear additive. There's also some silicon, which is good to know about since silicon can also show dirt in used oil samples. It's an anti-foaming additive. No moisture or solids were found. This oil is in serviceable condition.

The Audi bolt-down ones are good. I replaced the push-down coils that had a failure about every year or two with the bolt-downs just a week or so befor VW announced the recall. Zero, zero, zero problems ever since.
My 2012 Tiguan SE 4Motion, 18k miles so far 1. Water pump high pitch noise when engine warm up, it happened at around 700 miles (pretty new), dealer said it is a flaw of that particular water pump, they ordered the part and replaced it.
