I had Yoko yk580's on these wheels and when I changed to goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric all seasons (pretty light tires) that made a huge difference!!!
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
I have the R brakes on my car, those were fairly easy to sourse as they can be bought remanufactured off Rockauto and they are also available as Passat VR6 brakes but no one seems to note that. Also the CC with the VR6 has them stock. Those can be found at scrap yards but agian everyone searches R brakes but the other models are the same just not painted blue. I found my kit on ebay for 750$ and it had everything for the swap, front and rear also rotors and calipers and caliper carriers. To me that is a good bang for the buck in terms of improvement in braking that I saw and the cost associated even if I would have gone with new hardware.
Porsche Boxter calipers (non S). You retain OEM rotors you just need to source carriers (I know someone makes them just can't remember) and lines. Hands down best bang for buck and awesome performance. You save a bunch of weight and move to a fixed 4 piston caliper on each side.
I am running Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 on 2011 CC
Pirelli Nero series, or if you want that round look with quite a lot of performance then Pilot Super Sport...
These are rare, look great and are durable. The tires only have about 5k miles on them and show minimal tire wear.
I'm running DG springs with Koni Yellows and love the setup.
I just got my first W12 Phaeton back from the dealer after her 141,621 mile service. Total cost for thorough once over, cleaning out of sunroof drains, repair of brake pad warning light due to corroded wire
I put a K&N air filter in my 2010. My first cleaning was a few weeks ago before I went to Disneyland; I've had the filter installed about 9 months or so. It's performed well enough.
Yes I too have experienced the windshield cracking right down the center from the top behind the rearview mirror. The dealer told me that it must have been a rock but there was definitely no point of impact and it cracked while parked in a parking lot at work.
