    Spindle conversion for brembo 18z calipers

    That is exactly what seems to be going on. Do you think there is a hub/bearing that I can swap into that spindle to fit the mk7 axle? The hub/bearing is different from the MK7 spindles, it even has a different bolt pattern, so I know it wont be as easy as swapping my MK7 hubs over to the Jetta...

    Spindle conversion for brembo 18z calipers

    Ran into a problem that I didn't find when researching the brembo 17z/18z caliper swap on the Mk7. I sourced a set of spindles/hubs/abs sensors from a 2009 Jetta, they should be the same part number as from a Mk5/Mk6 GTi.

    So who got the Szechuan Sauce today?

    I got a bunch from my local mcdonalds yesterday for me and my fiancee to try them out. I figured I had to since we are Rick and Morty fans.

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Installed the BFI GS2 shift knob today! Feels good, but couldn't figure out how to keep the boot from bunching up, didn't cut the boot but didn't attach zip tie as high as I could on boot either. Would that help? Any advice welcome! Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk
