How Long Have Your Aftermarket Parts Lasted?
How Long Have Your Aftermarket Parts Lasted?
I've had my G for awhile now and my aftermarket parts (aka "mods") are starting to show age. There's plenty of info on how the stock parts last/perform, but mixed info on how some aftermarket parts last/perform. I think it's time we start really giving some of these "trusted" and "not-so-trusted" parts some real world credibility (or otherwise). I think it will help newbs to make decisions on what they buy based on real numbers rather than price point, warranties and sales pitches.
I kinda just want to keep this as a "failure review" thread. Meaning: what were your parts, how long did they last (miles + time), how did the perform (including degradation) and were you happy?. This can kinda include everything from tires to cam sensors, etc.
For example: my energy compression rod bushings just failed. I got 56k miles and 3 years out of them and for the most part I was satisfied with what I paid for and plan on replacing them with the same part.

Dee, I love the enthusiasm, truly I do and I love the participation, but I hope this is a voluntary thread rather than a Q&A. No offense. I just think it would work better as a thread where people display their parts and explain their experience without solicitation. Again, no offence, but let's see what people come up with automatically.
'06 coupe, had great 3 year good use out of auto zone cam sensors.
Auto zone brake pads? Awful experiences. I need to go back to OEM or nice aftermarket pads. Can't get that OEM bite.
Plenum spacer/tb warmer, no problems, sounds great.

Like seriously, this is a usable thread that would help predict and tackle problems with (at least gives a baseline for age) the aging of modded Gs. Not all parts are gonna last forever regardless of how good they are. It's weird how everything just turns into a joke here anymore.
Whoaaaa
You got 11 people left on the forum, CarID faking they care about you now owning a G in the Welcome section, Tex and Jeff, and the same 3 vendors bumping their every thread since 2007.
What else did you expect?
