Added new pads (Pagid..$100.00/whole car) and brake fluid (ATE blue $12.00 quart), trimmed the stock splash shield in the rear and used the shields from the wreck up front and finished the install a few days ago. Brakes feel great and nicely fill the wheel space on my new 18" wheels.
Pros: brakes feel great

The MKIV is definitley biased towards the rear. A grippy pad like Ferodo DS2500 up front helps a lot!
Pros: grippy pad, helps a lot

Here is a 2.0 owner with a 1999 GL and 56K on the clock. I decided to use K&N drop in filter as a replacement on the CAI. So here is what I noticed after I put K&N on my puny 2.0: 1. 1.7 - 2.3 EXTRA mpg 2. Better throtle reponse, especially above 3K rpms 3. No problems concerning the MAF and oil flying off the filter I think my $45.87 was well spent!
Pros: extra MPG, better throttle response, no MAF problems

Your experience is your experience- that's fine. I have seen gains. My fuel economy has gone up about two miles per gallon on average.
Pros: seen gains, fuel economy up

I just turned over 9K on my car. installed a K&N on the day I got the car with 34 miles on the clock. After reading your post the other day on this subject, I decided to check my MAF and intake for signs of mineral oil. There were no signs of it. Not on this car, or the Jetta 1.8T I had before this one. I ran that car with a K&N panel filter for for approx. 36,000 miles until I sold it for the GTI. I have owned (6) cars in my life. (4) of them had K&N filters in them. I have never had a problem with any of them as a result of these filters.
Pros: no signs of mineral oil, no problems

Volkswagen
Mileage: 9000 km
Agreed ^^ I did mine a wek ago and the sound is great! The DV is definately audible now and the turbo spools a little quicker and whines louder! You'll get a little better mileage like alreadt stated and I'm sure you'll gain a few HP, but its not very noticeable.
Pros: great sound, DV audible, turbo spools quicker, better mileage
Cons: HP gain not very noticeable

the Wilwoods are quite light. they don't have much pad contact area though. the big advantage with the Stoptechs would be the cooling and contact area.
Pros: cooling and contact area
Cons: little pad contact area

RainX actually degrades your wiper blade. I used it on my x-Jetta and my blades went and started to chatter.
Cons: degrades wiper blade, blades chatter
