Mintex › Brake pads

Rating 4.0

Braking:

Stock pads have always been like that. My MKIV was like that as well especially in the rear. So I changed them with Mintex pads.

Uneven wear:

The brackets I ordered from usrt bolt up to the boxster red rears.... As to whether rear boxster calipers work or not I've done and uses the calculator several times and it is a 15% increase in brake power..

Pros: 15% increase in brake power

Trico › Wiper blades

Wipe quality:
Streaks/chatter:

I just put the Trico blades on. They are not a direct connect, meaning that it won't just snap in. However, using the supplied adapter was no issue and to me, these are way better than stock blades. No issues lifting even at higher speeds.

Pros: better than stock blades

Cons: not a direct connect

Uneven wear:

Ok, so i got them fitted yesterday. I used the following: - caliper carripers from Epytec for the cayenne zr18 caliper for mk4 : http://www.epytec.de/modelle/vw/gol...achse/1293/adapter-porsche-bremssattel-audi-tt-a3-vw-golf-4-polo-9n-bora?c=1250 - braided brake hoses from Epytec for porsche calipers: http://www.epytec.de/kategorien/bre...ng-vw-golf-4-r32-audi-a3-s3-a1-porsche-brembo-ttrs-polo-9n-bremsen-umbau?c=1730 - regular ATE brake pads - EBC R32 Brake discs - Porsche Cayenne ZR18 calipers I ended up having to put my 20mm spacers from the back wheels to the front, because the 10mm ones didn't clear the caliper. The epytec hardware is really good quality stuff, comes with all necesary german TUV paperwork to be able get the brakes \"registered\". I drove a total of 10 miles, and as a first impression, the pedal is kind of spongy and goes down pretty low. I will definitely look into upgrading to a 25.4mm M/C. I will let you guys know more after the brakes get seated in properly and do a really good brake bleeding to a better brake fluid.

Pros: good quality hardware, good stopping power

Cons: spongy pedal, goes down low

OEM Volkswagen › Windshield seal

mgyip 12 Jul 2013, 15:47

Rating 1.0

Water tightness:

That crusty rubber seal was the press-in seal - the biggest problem with the OE VW version is that it's more plastic than rubber and it shrinks in the sun.

Cons: more plastic than rubber, shrinks in sun
