I've run BKR7Es for years with zero issues. I've tried other plugs and I always go back.
Plus they are nice BKR7EIX's (NGK Iridium 1-Step Colder than OEM) and barely have 5000-6000 miles on them, and are gapped to the recommended 0.28 of the APR tune, so there shouldnt be issues, right? As it turns out, my engine cares, A LOT.
Had good years on my '10 Routan. Meh. Very loud and very hard. Eventually purchased a set of Continentals -- oh my what a difference it made. I would not put anything else on the Routan. They look great and perform flawlessly. Highly recommended.
Actually just installed a set in my MK6 GLI and they are a whole lot better than the OEM branded pads.
There is a noticeable difference between OEM pads and these along with high temp brake fluid when doing 20 min sessions at Portland International Raceway... less fade and shorter stopping distance. Also the pads are still quiet and about same brake dust as OEM.
I just replaced my OEM pads with Hawk HPS5.0 pads and slotted StopTech rotors. Slightly more dust than the OEM ceramic pads but they do a good job.
I ordered a replacement Bosch regulator F-00M-A45-303 from ebay and while it was being shipped to me decided to pull the alternator out and take a look at its general condition.
Over the last 6 months I have replaced all front suspension control arms with new TRW arms.
Here's an update on why I posted this thread. I have a Thinkware F750 Dashcam w/ the Hard wiring accessory so I can record (in parking mode) with the engine off but the cam fires up as soon as I turn the ignition and will record full time.
Yea man,those Wanli's are some crazy cheap,made in china,low quality tires
