Body bounce:
Bottoming:

A quick bench test revealed the damping rate of the replacement shocks to feel approximately twice that of the originals, which were way too soft even for daily driving over bad surfaces.

Pros: improved damping rate

Cons: originals were too soft

OEM Volkswagen › Engine oil

I've been using these docs for a while now, and am incredibly grateful for you sharing them. With that said, I just noticed something that's news to me. Both the \"Revised Oil Capacity Job Aid\" and the 2012 vs 2013 fluid capacity charts show a 1 qt decrease in engine oil capacity between 2012 and 2013 MY. I've always heard there were insignificant, minor changes between the model years. I've been putting 5ish into my 2012 and it's always been full according to the dipstick.

Pros: grateful for sharing them

Cons: 1 qt decrease in capacity

Pros: better in all conditions

K&N › Fuel filter

Power:
Hesitation:

On my mk3 I ran a fuel cell gravity feeding a bosch 044 pump with -6hose. I chose a K&N fuel filter that had a billet aluminum body with a screen disk as the filter. K&N verified this was OK for fuel injection. Well, the pump was so high flow that the screen filter was a real restriction and bent the screen kind of forcing it half way through the hole.

Cons: real restriction, bent the screen
