If you'd like to correct the brake balance, put some higher cF pads on the front axle only. Hawk HPS works well. Leave the rear with OEM pads. Seems counterintuitive, but this will prolong the life of the rear pads and reduce ABS activation on hard stops.
Pros: prolong rear pads life
Cons: requires higher cF pads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I have a HPA specified SPEC 3+ with a single mass steel flywheel. Engagement is pretty much half way through total range of movement. I like it, now I just need to get use to the flywheel chatter when in neutral.
Pros: smooth engagement
Cons: flywheel chatter

In any event, I switched to the Castrol Syntec 5w/40 on a free oil change given by my dealer at the 14,795 mile mark during an "oil consumption test". I'm happy to report that I have traveled exactly 6,000 miles om the Castrol 5w/40 and have not added any oil to my "R". Currently, I am down a half quart on the dipstick.
Pros: no oil added
Cons: down half quart

Volkswagen
Mileage: 14795 km
The H rated 18" bridgestone dueler H/Ls seem to perform about 90% as well as the V rated OEM Contis that I replaced them with. IMO I gave up 10% of the sticky feel of the Contis for the awesome tread wear of the bridgestones...
Pros: awesome tread wear
Cons: less sticky feel
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg

Yes, you can certainly use 506.01 in your TDI and it's used in many TDIs around the world. However, based upon some of the UOAs offered up, I'd suggest moving to 507.00. The 506.01 has shown relatively high wear metals.
Pros: used in many TDIs
Cons: high wear metals
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Meyle are good? My brother in law had a pretty bad experience with those from ecstuning with his parents' B5 Passat..they wore out faster than the OEM tie-rods.
Cons: wore out faster
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B5
