Falken › Tires

Rating 4.0

Grip:

i think it's possible to find smaller than 205/40 but not easily or cheaply.. i think you can get 195/45. however the falken 512 (which you can now only get from discount tire on ebay) is much smaller than most 205/40's. it's what i run on my mk3 and they are much smaller than the set they replaced.

Pros: smaller than most

Cons: not easily or cheaply

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Part number: 512

Bilstein › Shock absorbers

Body bounce:
Bottoming:

The 9s are single adjustable. They adjust rebound AND compression in the same direction, at the same time. The PSS kit is about a 2-3 on the scale of 1-9 according to both Bilstein and my own personal testing. The 9s can deffinetely be softened up considerably and ride quite well on the softer settings.

Pros: softer settings, ride well

Hawk Performance › Brake pads

Braking:
Noise:

I have a clunking noise coming from my front brakes, whenever i hit a bump. This has been ruled to be the outside pad moving around in the caliper. Pretty much everything else in the front suspension has been changed, so i'm pretty sure it is the pad. Mechanic had the car yesterday and said everything looks tight as well. The car stops fine, and there's plenty of pad wear left so i'm not going to switch out the pads or anything. I was hoping someone could chime in and let me know if there's something that can be done to get rid of the "clunk", or do i just live with it. Anyone else ever have this issue? FYI, It's a 2000 Golf with Hawk HPS pads.

Pros: car stops fine, plenty of wear

Cons: clunking noise from front brakes
