I just replaced my worn out Michelin's with a brand new set of Cooper RS3-G1 tires (235-45-17) and the traction from a standing start is impressive.
I installed Stoptech Brake Rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads together with SS brake lines. It really stops well now.
Conti DWS 06. Fantastic tire, helluva bang for the buck. Grippy, communicative, great in rain or dry, quiet, rides great. Running those on both my Passat, and on the wife unit's Fusion.
Ordered the LuK RS4 Clutch Kit from ECS tuning.
I have not had oil light come back on since I changed the oil and filter. Was originally running 5w-30. Changed to Eurospec 0w-40 and a Mann oil filter and have not had the light come on. Have driven over 500 miles now.....
My 2013 B7 SEL Premium on H&R Sport Springs and Koni Yellow SPORTS on Audi S7 20" reps. The perfect setup IMO.
I did Redbox pads on my B5.5 Passat with 312 rotors, and I loved them. I skimped out when I first did the upgrade and went with CARQUEST pads and absolutely hated them. Maybe that's why I liked the Redbox so much....
She burns ~ 1 Quart/5000 Miles.
Can verify: B7 NMS Passat headlights are complete garbage. Aftermarket HIDs are almost required.
There should be a lower category specifically for the Passat. worst. headlights. ever. The shame is that a big part of the problem is that they are simply aimed at the ground about 100' in front of the car.
