Pilkington makes a good product, too...it matches the acoustic and heat-blocking characteristics of the OEM. No optical distortions and decent chip resistance.
The OEM is great, if you can afford it or your insurance company will pay for it. There is a bit of Sekurit product out there...You can be comfortable with Sekurit, as they are one of VW OEM suppliers.
I have installed the shocks/springs for month and have decided to sell the vehicle due to new family member arriving soon. These transformed the car. Really nice set up. Smooth ride and handles really nice. Sticks to the highway very well.
aka_deno said: Here you guys go. recorded it this morning. Sorry there is no sound other then me walking around the front of my car lol. First is DRL's only. Headlights witch in Off or Auto mode. The LED's turn off on the side when a blinker turns on (Not in video) but you can disable this in vagcom. (I like the LED's off during blinker, looks more OEM) THen Parking lights or running lights whatever you want to call them. LED's stay ON with blinker. Then Low Beam (This has the Pre-installed HID kit with 5000k bulbs. Wish they would offer 4500 as the 5000k is a whiteish blue, i like OEM 4300 or 4500 where its true white white, with a tad of yellow) The cutoff line is deep blue for some reason when i am driving around. Then High beams. I also have Lamin-x on the headlights, put that on before installing the headlights. Oh and NO the LED's dont blink in real life, just on camera. But this gives a good look at what they look like during daytime (post rain)
Update: After several days with my newly flushed heater core, the heat output is amazing. Almost too hot at times! I have never experienced such hot air before on any vehicle I have driven.
I was just doing a bunch of reading and stumbled upon this "RSR" Kit from HS Tuning. It is supposed to feel much like stock VW clutch (with just a bit more bite) and have none of the chatter and such that heavy duty aftermarket clutches supposedly do (like SB clutches I hear).
So today I put on a new pair of Bosch brake pads, flushed the brake fluid, and removed that sensor from the windshield washer reservoir. It was too easy.
Just swapped out some pretty old looking OEM bosch plugs that were gapped at .045 for some reason. Put in PFR6Q at .032\". Didnt notice much of a change.
personally, I think Amsoil AFL is junk. They ruined a stout oil when they reformulated it to mimick 505.01.
It's the tires...... My car came with the Hankook's and they are noisy lil bastards....
