I’m at VIR with them now (on stock springs). Ran a 2:12.5. Prior best was 2:13.9. Changes were front sway bar on stiff vs soft (H&R 26mm), koni SA, and offset camber bushings. I think all contributed a bit but the shocks for sure are what are making 120 through the esses possible without feeling...

I've run: 245 square with stock bars on track 245 square with 26mm H&R rear on track and autocross 245 square with 26mm H&R rear + 26mm H&R front on track and autocross 255/245 with 26mm H&R rear + 26mm H&R front on autocross only Honestly the tire difference is nearly nothing. 245/225 may be...

@MonkeyMD could get a part time job fogging for mosquitos!

They fit under @tigeo 's wagon on 17x9 Apex SM10s FWIW. 17x8.5 may require spacers but I'm not sure, he may know.

They also don't have independent upper/lower collars which is what my comment was primarily aimed at. On the Bilsteins it'll be a function of shock body dimensions vs spring rate and available threads on the body that determines where they ride. They're also what I'd consider a bit of a "medium"...

I know @xXDavidCXx has experience with the Koni Special Actives (in fact he was one of the primary people who swayed my decision to go that direction). IMO the shocks give the rear control that the car needs. The rear shocks are the primary problem with these cars from the factory IMO. I'm...

While I've not used them, Auto Rescue in Richmond is owned by a guy who races Champcar/Lemons. I would at least call them up and make sure they're capable/aware of the stuff needed to align a MK7. https://www.autorescue.com/ Otherwise I've taken my own cars to Brad at Autologic of VA in...

I agree... but we can do this for all the people who aren't going to watch the video: Preloading trades down/droop travel in exchange for up/bump travel. And for the people who think height has to be changed with the bottom adjustment because the Chinese told them to do it...

I know @xXDavidCXx already got an explanation across to you, and I think I posted this here before... but one more time for those to help understand how preload actually works: FWIW Redshift is also doing a GoFundMe now because they're behind on money... I'm reading between the lines that...

The shit. That's what. 😂 Faster and more in depth logging (including g forces, SAS, and brake pressure along with like 130 engine/DSG parameters), YOU control exactly how safe or aggressive your tune is, you know exactly if your knock sensors have been numbed and by how much, and neat stuff...

Subscribed 😎 You know on OS you can run flex fuel or map switching etc (could make pump, E85, and 3 maps in between for varying fuel mixtures)... 🥸

Man I really want to make it up to that track some point soon-ish (next year at this point). For brakes just get GOOD pads for the stock calipers. Honestly I think the Macan upgrade is a waste. The stock PP pads are considerably thicker and almost the same overall size wise. I have 5 days on...

I know it's already back together but for future lurkers: If the car is on ramps and it's a DSG (or a manual in gear), you can apply the parking brake (and chock the back wheels!) and put the trans in neutral to make sure there's no binding and you'll be able to freely swing the engine around...

Got my rain tires mounted up on my free wheels so naturally, the forecast for next weekend no longer calls for rain at this time. 😂 Which I am perfectly OK with 👌 Been fiddling with the tune and it pulls strong. Have a few different maps with incrementally less timing so if I encounter knock on...

Like I said above it depends on the quality of wheel weight and prep more than anything else. Also anything short of actual track use (no tail of the dragon doesn't count) isn't going to be getting the brakes to 1600F+ on a regular and sustained 20min basis... which radiates to the wheels. I'll...

Correct. So do Ferodos. :ROFLMAO: I was actually considering trying Carbotech if my DS3.12s hadn't gotten to me in time... Definitely glad they did. I think the only way to resolve this on CT's end will be to send them a PP bracket to make sure they actually fit correctly. That also sucks...

I'm just saying I’ve touched a lot of brake pads for a lot of different cars, and I know exactly the type of shim that could potentially make those carbotech pads work without issue... But can't remember what types of cars use them. Some cars have a shim that wraps around the "tab" of the pad on...

Go to a parts store and look for pad hardware that looks like this...

Updated my original post with more detailed info on each of the tires I've had experience with. https://golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/max-summer-200tw-tire-discussion-fun-data-inside.423082/post-7963070

Edited 5/18 to add more notes to each. Falken RT660 - my favorite do all tire. They're damn fast for the first 10ish min of a session before greasing up a bit. Even then they're manageable. Did 7 days on track (6 at VIR and 1 at Summit Point on the Jefferson circuit), plus about 8k miles and...
