Here's my 03 Jetta TDI. I used 986 generation non-S Porsche Boxster Brembo 4 pot calipers front and rear with OEM Brembo pads and hardware. I went with these over the 17Z/18Z big 6 pots so I wouldn't have to install a different master cylinder as the factory one doesn't move enough fluid to actuate those big brakes effectively.
You'll find most common needs (brake pads, etc) in stock everywhere, and rarer parts will be easy to find in a day or two.
Sailun tires are pretty good in general for being off brand. My Jetta had them when I bought it — I put about 45k miles on them before they wore out. And during that time I hit a pothole hard enough to bend the wheel — but the tire survived.
Just put in some new Bilsteins last week.
I ran them on my 2015 Jetta 1.8T and they were legit. Stopped hard, felt good and smooth. Only gripe was the brake dust but the pads lasted forever (something close to 50k miles).
So I bought an injector machine. Flow tested the injectors found out my 440's were really 380's. Swapped out 3bar for a 4bar fpr. Runs a bit better.
The only part to go bad was the rear shocks at 56K.
i put redline MT90 in it + it shifted decently good until i blew 5th gear at 105 thou good luck
Do NOT get the Michelins at Costco. Worse blades EVER. Don't wipe at all and noisy.
The CKRA has a smaller turbo than the CJAA. The CKRA turbo is also more prone to blowing up.
