Brakes: Golf R front brakes with Tyrol sport bushings, Neuspeed stainless lines, Motul 600 fluid, Carbotech street pads
My Mk2 VR had the full Corrado G60 front and rears. I used Zimmermann stock replacement rotors and Hawk HP Plus pads. They did an excellent job.
I will add this, I drove it for 10-15 miles already, and where as the transmission had a bit of a whine at 65 before, now it is really quiet. And it may be placebo effect, but it does feel like it goes into gear smoother than before.
i have hawk ceramic brake pads front and rear along with ss brake lines on my 2012 golf R. I got them from ecs tuning and they work great! nice improvement over stock.
Didnt wanted \"racing\" air filter. So decided to convert old air box for my car.
I do recommend the manual transmission for the most fun, lower purchasing cost, lower maintenance cost, and ~10% better fuel economy.
Good quality synth 5w40 alllll dayyy eryyy dayyy. Flip open your owner's manual, 5w40 is the recommended oil. 30 weight thins out too much during extended drive periods or in high temp areas. FWIW the previous owner of my Golf sold it because it was an "oil burner" he was using gas station brand dino 5w30 :screwy: I switched to Motul and then Gulf 5w40, and drove it for 55k+ kms, had to add about 1L between my 10K OCIs.
I changed the fluid because I wanted to be running a superior fluid compared to what was put in from the factory. That being said when I drained the factory gear oil with under 2k on the odo it already smelled burnt but obviously there was no color change since it was hardly used but just based on the smell of the gear oil you can often tell how hard it is being worked and how well it is holding up to the stress inside the diff itself.
Driving the Golf R made me not buy it. I have a 2009 MKV TSI base model 6mt with APR Stg 2 (intake, chip, downpipe) upgraded stock brakes (hawk HPS, ss lines, dot 4 fluid), KW V3 coilovers (both rebound and compression adjustable) and it was faster, handled better and braked similarly to the Golf R.
When i had my quads (generic AutoPal 7", OEM-replacement, but not OEM hella), I had a problem where, if i properly aimed the lows, the highs were up in the trees.
