Best DSG Paddles?

[Handguns4heaRTs]

Who would be interested in us making a set, with our usual 4 color options?

There's a great market for a product priced between the awful stick on, and the expensive RacingLine or S2T. Do it!!!!

We would do something that would not require an adhesive most likely. Well now we know there is certainly interest, I'll have my guys look into it!

I have the ECS carbon paddles that are a full replacement. Construction and size are great but the angle needs to be tweaked a little. They are a little too close to the control stalks. It would be better if they were closer to the steering wheel.

I was wondering about those as price wise, they sit between the eBay/Ali knock-off options and the pricey VWR/S2T options.

Any pics?

Sorry about the crappy pic but I think it still shows it ok

Is there any crazy disassembly to remove the stock paddles?

Just spin the steering wheel 180 degrees from center, then one pin to be pulled out on either side. I'd be interested in some replacement paddles, depending on the design!

As mentioned already. Easy peasy. You just need needle nose pliers or something similar.

How’s the fit? Nice and snug or do they wiggle a bit, side to side?

I was looking at these before but the plain brushed aluminum once were always out of stock.

What's wrong with the OEM shift paddles? They seem fine.

Right you are but nobody has ever lost any money underestimating the taste of the automobile enthusiasts.

I've yet to see some good looking aftermarket DSG paddles. They are all so big and obnoxious looking, especially the ones that attach to the OEM paddles with double sided tape and/or set screws (IMO). The VWR are decent I guess, but ridiculously priced.

I was going to say, I don’t know how much they help personally, maybe a lot, but they are all rather big... I find The OEM paddles to be fine for me.

Isn’t bigger better?

If designed right, there’s more to grab from different wheel grips.

The stock paddles (if you can even call them paddles) are anemic. Personally the larger paddles makes it more fun and engaging to use.
