They are quality, and that always counts. Hella is amazing. Those celis headlights up above look much better than all the other knockoff wannabe headlights that try to incorporate that technology and look.

Pros: quality, amazing

Zimmermann › Brake discs

Rating 4.0

Braking:

i have this setup actually.. on my 2.0. zimmerman crossdrilled and ebc greenstuff. the concensus is that for most city and highway driving, solid rotors are best, more braking surface = better stopping. however, my setup really BITES for 10.1" rotors... i just m ainly got the crossdrilleds for looks

Pros: good deal, high quality

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

ATE › Brake discs

Braking:

Although it is just an 8V, I run my GTi hard at autocross and road race events. I still have the 9.4\" brakes up front. I just upgraded with SS lines, ATE super blue fluid, ATE power disks, and a ceramic compound pad. They stop great and have not shown any signs of fade.

Pros: stop great, no fade

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Girling › Brake caliper

Rating 4.0

Pulling:

First of all, you can run the G60 (Girling 54) fronts with rear disk on a 20mm master cylinder with no problem. I am running that setup right now. That being said, yes, the pedal feel would be nicer with a 22mm master, but the 20mm will work also.

Pros: 20mm master works fine

Cons: pedal feel not optimal

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

VALVOLINE › Engine oil

85Golf 31 Jul 2005, 21:01

Rating 4.0

I also have a 2.0 and run the valvoline synthetic. I started after 2500m and am currently at 29k. No scientific results here other than keeping track of mileage in a little notebook and looking back at the first month compared to the most recent - I'm averaging about 7mpg more.

Pros: improved fuel economy

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 29000 km

EBC › Brake pads

Rating 3.0

Noise:
Dust:

If you are doin competition, yeah, EBC pads and slotted / drilled are worthwhile, but for mere performance road use, there's no point (except for looks). The rotors wear faster, create more dust, and the pads, whilst they may not create as much dust, will squeal.

Pros: worthwhile for competition

Cons: pads will squeal
