I got some and installed them last week and I am completely amazaed at how good they work. Yep, easy to install and they look great.
OK. I got the Icons (size 21 and 19) and installed them the other day. Today was the first real rain since then and I am happy with the results. The wipers have an interesting installation bracket. Very well designed and easy to install. They do seem to stick up higher from the base of the windshield than stock, but not terrible. They seem to do a great job with rain although there still is a vertical line of sludge left on the windshield right in front of the driver's face from where the right wiper stops on its left-ward swing. Not thrilled about that.
Another http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif for Bosch ICONs. They have been grrrrrrrrrreat (RIP Tony the Tiger) on my Jetta.
I have used both 0w40 and 5w40 Mobil 1 in a 02 Jetta for a long time with great results.

MK3 TDI oil pump, waaay bigger gears mean no oil problems at high rpm
Well it's done. The Spindles are in, the Bilstein Sports are on with H&R OE Sport Springs and a 28mm H&R Rear anti-roll Bar. Definately a difference, but since I had Chad at SCI install everything at once, I have no way to be certain about which part accounts for what change. Turn in is well controlled and has a 'right now' feel, body roll is reduced quite a bit, and I can feel the rear of car rotate properly around corners. The ride height of this set up is about 3/8" lower in the rear and 3/8" higher in front than the stock GLI 1.8T (which is about 1" lower than a Jetta GL), now the car sits perfectly level. Which means, if you ask my opinion, the car now sits and looks correct. Also, I no longer scrape on the way into my drive way. The OE Sport springs are definately stiffer than stock and so are the Bilsteins: as evidence by a good reduction in pitch (squat and dive). The ride isn't any rougher or any more "firm" than stock GLI 1.8T, but the suspension motions are WAY more controlled. The spindles live up to the prediction of reduction in bump steer--now there is NONE when hammering rough pavenent on clover leafs; now the car's wheels abosorb the pavement irregularities but the steering wheel doesn't kick back. In addition, the control arms are now angled in the correct direction. So the spindles, along with the springs, help with the decent amount of roll reduction I've noticed. Overall I'm very happy, I got exactly what I wanted. For most enthusiasts/tuners who only want to lower, this set up is a pricey suspension mod that will not give you what you want. However if cornering prowess with great feedback and motion control is what you seek, this is nirvana .
As you all can see, the dyno showed how the TC Sport are (as also advertised) pretty close to stock, if we look at the compression. The rebound is quiet more than stock thought. But from the graphs is pretty clear that the TC is not any near the advertised 10 or 20% stiffer than stock
I've used the air filters made by Amsoil in my current Jetta. I wasn't impressed. The air filter left dust particles on the inside of my intake tube so that was taken out soon after it was installed.
