With regard to disc pads I recommend Wagner Thermoquiet ceramic disc pads. Eliminated brake dust and no issue on rotor wear and braking quality

Aye BunnyEars....did I see correct last night (south bound nearing Freeport exit) but the Jetta was towing a white AD Wagon?

If you wasn't towing him, that driver wanted to kiss your bumper rell bad.

Try ERM in Chaguanas or pm the user Gool on the forum. I got a pair of Bilstien for the front of my B6 Passat from him.

Come to think of it I have seen a tpi for leaking shocks that would be replaced by vw at their cost. Shocks really shouldn't have to be replaced after 2 years approximately.

Past their service interval. Best Auto/Massy hasn't had them in stock for weeks! I haven't been able to find them online to order.
