I’ve installed aux oil and transmission coolers on my 2015 non-PP GTI and I managed to get a big red “engine overheated, turn off engine” message on my 4th lap at Sebring yesterday. I let off the throttle and pitted to cool down. I’m APR stage 2 using The stock IS20 turbo. For those who track...

Would the ride be crazy harsh with these installed? I found a used set at a great price. I track my GTI about 10 times a year and it’s my daily.

Has anyone ever auto-crossed with the front sway bar detached? I am troubleshooting a popping sound in the front of my car and I removed the front endlinks to take the front sway bar out of the equation. The car seams just fine with the FSB out of the system. FYI - For the noise I found the...

I know the front sway bar saddle mounts don’t set flush on the sway bar, but mine seam bent up and the sway bar is difficult to more. Do these look bent? And what could have caused it if so?

Multi-piston caliper upgrade question. My friend spent a boat load of money on 2 piece griodisk rotors all the way around. He is doing track days and the stock caipers are not cutting it. Any recommendations for calipers that will work with the stock rotor size of 340mm x 30mm?

Are there any decent rear pads for my non-PP GTI besides EBC Yellows. The Yellows stuck to my rotors after setting outside in the rain for a week. After braking them loose with a lot of throttle, later that day I noticed the rotors had wide no contact areas on the middle of the rotors. Found big...
