I've enjoyed my Hawk HPS 5.0 pads quite a bit, though I have the PP brakes. Handled a track day very well with no fade (I'm no pro so I'm sure they can fade if pushed hard enough).
Pros: handled track day well
Cons: can fade if pushed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I went with EBC slotted with EBC red pads and it made a total difference in the bite and consistency of the braking on my 7.5.
Pros: better bite, consistency

You need the specific VW spec 0w-20. It has a bluish and green hue. Its for fuel economy and warranty, also for stuff like the fuel filter and the intricate other parts of the engine, running regular 0w-20 may cause problems.
Pros: for fuel economy, for warranty
Cons: may cause problems

Oil needs to be specificly designed for VW. I use [LiquiMoly Top Tech 6200 VW 508 Spec](https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vw-0w20-synthetic-oil-change-kit-liqui-moly-mann-538720?ads_cmpid=21759816943&ads_adid=170798399249&ads_matchtype=&ads_network=g&ads_creative=715097223081&utm_term=&ads_targetid=pla-293946777986&utm_campaign=&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&ttv=2&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21759816943&gclid=CjwKCAiAt8bIBhBpEiwAzH1w6Xei8JrrLq8MziCPaWxXnDYi7k66dFtY4Tj6tiqXtBQJa-l1PzNhoBoCp0QQAvD_BwE).

It\u2019s true that you dont\u2019 get quite as good performance as with the Bosch, but this is my second set of autolites and I\u2018m over 200k miles already.

Cons: not as good performance
Vehicle:

I have just about 9100 miles on my 2024 Golf R, purchased just over a year ago. The car just went through PA Stat inspectio, after which the service tech told me the tires are at 4/32. It passed the inspection but there’s not much left on the tires. The car as new came with Hankook Venus S1 evo 3 tires. It seems almost unbelievable to me that I may only get 10,000 miles out of these tires.
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 14645 km
Soooo many burnt up MSD ignition coils. We tried our best.
Cons: burnt up
