Best DSG Paddles?

[Carlosfandang0]

Sorry but kind of your own fault for paying that much for paddles that can be had for $30 on AliExpress and are well documented on these forums and elsewhere.

The mountune52 paddles are a slightly different design than the Racingline style ones.

I bought these on Amazon. Look just like the AliExpress ones without having to wait for shipping from China.

I understand that but the design is really quite similar and the eBay/Ali knockoffs look and work great.

Guess I just cant wrap my head around why anyone wants to willingly spend $150–250 on two pieces of milled metal that perform the same function as a $25–30 piece, especially when the far more expensive product turns out to have what appears to be inferior build quality.

Carlos: Thanks for the tip about the tape! After having these installed for the past 4 months, I don't think will bother with it, though. They still look and feel great, and the minimal amount of play isn't something that bothers me. It's a great suggestion, though, for those that might be more OCD and on the fence about buying a set of $30 paddles.

Well, forget $30! I just recently decided to replace my silver set with black and bought some for £14 GBP or $17 USD (shipped) from AliExpress,

they are outstanding quality, I was genuinely surprised by them, I initially bought the cheapest I could find as I was going to cut them and resin bond/mould the mounting section to some T-Carbon extensions, but now I have them fitted, (no play what so ever), they also unlike others I’ve see have machine cut ‘finger grips’ on the back side!

Has anyone found some composite ones? CF maybe, but really just glass fiber reinforced plastic so they don’t get too cold or hot depending on the season.

Nice!! I like the machined grips on the back too!

M52 paddles. No cosmetic problems from what I can see.

RaxTDM from Amazon. Seem to fit as well as stock.

^^They're probably all coming out of the same factory in China regardless of what vendor you buy from. Lol...I'm pretty sure that's where my M52 ones are made.

No doubt. Most of them look the same.

 

[sstarrx2]

Yeah...they are probably made in the same factory in China for sure. I really like mine, the red really goes well with the Tartan interior of my S.

I’ve discovered recently that the wobble is in fact at the notch area (yellow circle), NOT the pin, to rectify this all that is needed is a small piece of fabric tesa tape stuck over it in the direction of the red arrows starting at the red line, if you take a look at the factory paddles they have a small divider in the notch that the tesa tape will replicate.

I'm really glad this thread got bumped. I recently bought a set of these for super cheap from @ReadTheBook (great seller, btw) and was getting a slight rattle from them combined with my BFI stage 1 dogbone insert (mostly low speeds and reverse, per usual).

A bit of tesa/friction tape in the spots you pointed out took care of it completely and now they are silent and feel OEM.

I guess I got lucky with mine, never had any noise or rattle. You would think they came original OEM as part of the car. It was a really good $25 investment.
