I purchased a set of the Helix style housings from Ed because I wanted the blue stripe and they were on closeout so I do not know if Ed's in house assemblies are molded the same so if anyone else can confirm I will update this post. For various reasons I needed this install to look completely...

Looking to upgrade the brakes on a TSI so based on previous posts I just need the caliper carriers and rotors. I can get the rotors pretty easily but the carriers are the hard part. If anyone has done an upgrade to their GTI and has thier non-PP brakes available for sale let me know.

Getting a Golf TDI but like the look of the Madrid wheels over the Geneva. Very willing to trade straight across if anyone happens to be interested in the opposite swap but expecting to purchase. The Geneva wheels will be for sale once I find some Madrids so PM me if you want to know when that...
