Did you have to fabricate all those pieces top fully cover the underside?One final remark - have you looked into *fully* paneling the underside of the car?
The difference it made to my Mk7 was incredible in stability and top speed
*fully so far as that it doesnt affect fluid and exhaust temps

Here are some photos we took of the SuperPro bushing installation.

The whole rear package with the SuperPro bushings installed and ready to bolt into the car! Rear lower control arm, rear front control arm, trailing arm, and rear upper control arm.

I'd suggest the 25mm rear bar if you have a stock front bar still, or have relatively stock suspension / wheels / tires.
The 27mm rear bar may be too much for an otherwise stock car.
Here are some progress pictures:
Wavetrac Differential back in the transmission.
Setting up end play is a breeze with the factory tool!
Case back together.. Looking at the Wavetrac through a hole underneath the clutch assembly.
Also we figured while the plastic filter housing was off to replace the filter, we may as well upgrade it! We used a USP Motorsports Cool Flow aluminum oil filter housing.
The car is completely different to drive now with the Wavetrac. The way it is driven through corners, or getting onto the power off the line has tremendously improved. We are taking the car to the local track this up coming weekend to get seat time in as a base line for a car with minimal upgrades. Will be doing a few more things this week, and will post pictures as we go.
Hi,
Could you tell me what is the oil that you are using on DSG after installing Wavetrac LSD?
Wavetrac recommends Motul gear oil. Check out their site.

I know. Wavetrac recommends Motul Gear Oil, as Gear 300. But some companies do not recommends Gear Oil for DSG use.
Example:
Motul Gear 300 SAE 75W90 - 100% Synthetic Ester - 100% synthetic lubricant for all mechanical transmission of high performances and racing cars. For manual, synchronised or not synchronised gearboxes, gearbox/differential, transfer gearboxes and hypoid differentials without limited slip system. Not for use with DSG, S-Tronic, PDK, R-Tronic, E-Gear, Tiptronic, Automatic, Multitronic, CVT Transmissions.

That's why I'm asking here, trying to find some help, because the Wavetrac recommendation is exactly what other companies tells not to do.
Glad you know, here is the specific Oil I've seen other DSG Wavetrac LSD DSG users use during LSD swap. MULTI DCTF

Thank you for your reply. I'll use DCTF.
I'm just trying to figure out why Wavetrac recommends Gear 300 for DSG. As far as I know they are the only company making this recommedation.
Please note that I'm not affirming that it will not work. I just don't know any other company or user that used Gear 300 on a DSG.
