I have Hawk Performance Ceramic pads and Eurospec slotted roters on my GLI daily driver and they've always seemed to bite right away.
Pros: bite right away
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I already have the ATE Premium One rotors and Hawk pads on my 1982 Caddy. They don't have the initial bite but are good once they heat up, but still require adequate pedal pressure to ensure an emergency stop. The ATE Premium One rotors are great especially in the rain because they absolutely have that initial bite.
Pros: great in the rain
Cons: require adequate pedal pressure

In my B3 Vr6, about 3yrs ago, I swapout the NgKs to Bosch Fusion 4-prones and my mileage went from 17 or so to 32mpgs. My car responded better and better mileage.
Pros: great mileage, better response

I bought these GXN Lobro's and I've been very happy with them. From what they guy told me where I bought them (local german car part place) he said they used OEM internals. Also they have solid shafts instead of the OEM hollow ones.
Pros: happy with them, solid shafts

I have now used those plugs of mine up to 35psi so far with no issues.
Pros: no issues up to 35psi
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Same exact plugs I use they haven't given me any issues I have em gapped to .022 and no misfires at 31psi, the car made over 600whp with no problems with these plugs, and they cost about $3 a plug.
Pros: no issues, no misfires, good for 600whp, low cost

For shocks, I would use the Bilstein sports instead of HD's if you plan to use lowering springs. (R32 fronts and Jetta rears)

Long before I read all that bad stuff online about the Ford crowd having trouble with autolite gp's I installed them in my 86 Golf and have been on the same gp's now for at least five years. I'm sure they need to be checked but I can't say much bad about them tbh.
Pros: lasted at least five years
Cons: need to be checked

Compared to the Dunlop SP-5000 Sports on my GLI, which have a couple years on them at this point and only cost $74 apiece, the Falkens are awful; they don't grip, they're ugly, and they're noisy.
Cons: don't grip, ugly, noisy
