Sailun › Tires

erykkuld 6 Jun 2024, 10:34

Rating 4.0

Grip:

Handling wise they were excellent, although, i havent tried a more premium tire on those rims yet, but in terms of the continentals i had as summer tires on a 15" rim before i upgraded they are WAY BETTER around corners, but that comes from there being alot less sidewall than the 15" with the continentals, i can take way steeper turns faster then what i could with the smaller rim.

Pros: excellent handling

Cons: louder than Continentals

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 32000 km

The bosch plugs can be found at autozone or O'Reilly's for about 18 bucks each. Cant recall the exact spec, but vw uses the Bosch plugs stock, so its a direct oe swap.

Pros: direct oe swap

Aim:
Condensation:

My dad has had the OE European (glass) headlights on his Mk4 Golf since 2002. They still look great all these years later, despite 300,000+ miles on them. The European beam pattern is so much better than the U.S. one, too.

Pros: look great, better beam

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 482803 km

Brightness:

I put a set of euro Hellas on my golf years ago. The US light performance was very good for the time but the euro lights were so much better.

Pros: much better performance

Zimmermann › Brake discs

Braking:
Noise:

I used Zimmerman rotors and ATE ceramic pads all purchased from fcpeuro.com. With stock pads I could wash the car and within two days they would be brown from brake dust. Now I can go weeks before I start to notice that there may be a little dust.

With the ceramic pads I cannot tell a difference in braking, I have almost no brake dust, and the rotors still look like new.

Pros: less brake dust, rotors look new

APR › Intercooler

The mk8 is certainly less subtle than the mk7, especially in Lapiz Blue. I've had my fair share of guys wanting to run. Elantra n, civic type r, a few Audi s's, WRX. On an empty highway I'll enjoy a few friendly 40-90 pulls in good fun.

Pros: enjoys friendly pulls

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

OEM Audi › Subframe

Solid feel:

That's why I sold my GTI and got an R. You need to invest in the Audi/mk8 subframe, a pendulum mount, engine mounts, and better tires.

Pros: better handling, more grip

Leaks:
Overheating:

After 2 water pumps... I sold my MK6. Thankfully it was all under warranty but having to leave my car at the dealer every other month cost me just as much in time.

Pros: covered by warranty

Cons: frequent failures, time consuming repairs
