Me...I'll stick to CASTROL EDGE 5w50...over a quarter of a million miles in an actual SCIROCCO.
I've been using amsoil for the past 2 oil changes. No complaints, car seems to idle a little better and cold start sooner.
I had this retrofit on my Jetta and I was a big fan of it. The unsprung weight complaint I find to be a bit much. As stated above, the weight difference isn't exceptional. The gain here is that you have a greater surface area of clamping force with the addition of an extra caliper piston. Overall, the cost/benefit of this setup is great.
Napa Gold is the same as WIX. Extremely high quality filters.
I will add this, I drove it for 10-15 miles already, and where as the transmission had a bit of a whine at 65 before, now it is really quiet. And it may be placebo effect, but it does feel like it goes into gear smoother than before.
Bosch W7DTC plugs were the best, caint get them no mores, use NGK BP6ET plugs instead.
i have hawk ceramic brake pads front and rear along with ss brake lines on my 2012 golf R. I got them from ecs tuning and they work great! nice improvement over stock.
I have Michelin PA3 now and used them last winter. Not problems at all, they are definitely great on snow, ice, AND tarmac. They feel very very close to the stock AS and don't eat too much fuel economy.
I currently have a set of Rain X blades on mine from Walmart, they were a PITA to install, but once installed they've been decent, they're starting to streak already, which is disappointing.
I ran them on my R32, lasted about 20k miles. I was not impressed with them. Not sticky enough of a tire to have so short a tread life, not cheap enough either. I expected a hard tire that would last me awhile, and I got a hard tire that wore out at the same rate as a Toyo R-compound tire. Will not be buying Direzzas again. For the same price range I'd stick with Kuhmo's or Falken Ziex.
