I made a POV short drive video. Starts around 1:30 time marker. Sorry for the angle, but in the bottom left corner is the gearing. What you can’t see because of the steering wheel is the current speed.

Yep! Just checking if anyone here has purchased this specific kit for their 2018+. On one of @Jewels_mk7 YouTube videos, he linked a kit similar but just without the DMF. Maybe FCP‘s fitment page isn‘t updated?

Will this kit work with a MK7.5? https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vw-clutch-kit-sachs-performance-kit-00313#description

Bought them. Even went through the process of painting them but was unable to install mine successfully. I attempted to pair them with an H&R rear 26mm swaybar and KW V2's, but the nut/bolt of the endlink was touching the springs on both sides. Instead, had to stay on stock plastic endlinks.

I see these will not work with 17x7.5 + 48 RPF1’s, but will they work with 18x9 +35?

I have RPF1 18x9 +35, which will fit the best? (MK7.5 PP)

In the same boat :)

Picked up some RPF1's (18x9 +35mm). Considering pairing them with Firestone Indy's. Would I be more prone to rub with 235, as opposed to 225? Or does it matter since it's a 9" wheel?

I’ll keep an eye out on it. Appreciate the input!

I’d say somewhere between 3-4 minutes and the gauges are displayed the entire time. Can’t be good on the battery.

Did this retrofit back in October successfully. Is there a way to change duration of the cockpit staying on, say if I open a car door? It feels as if the screen stays on for too long. I have OBDEleven.

Just purchased the following from FCP: (2) 5QM412249 (2) 5Q0412331E According to the instructions KW provides for install, the top nut on the strut is 50Nm (37 ft-lb). Per page #1, stock strut indicates 60Nm. Assuming I need to follow KW torque specs instead?

Thanks everyone. What is the part # for the strut mounts? Or should I go 034 full set with bearings?

Been reading this entire thread for over an hour and feeling confident. I plan to install KW V2's on my 2019 (18k miles) here in the upcoming weeks (Spring). I've read suggestions about replacing upper strut bearing (5Q0-412-249-F) and that's fine. With the KW's, suggestions on how to install...

Bump. Curious to see more 18x8 +35 setups. Whats really the advantage of going 18x9 as a opposed to 18x8? Wouldn't a spacer make up the difference should one want to do that later?
