What did you do to your mk7 today?

Just installed this ECS spoiler today

What did you wrap it with? Do you have any pictures?

Wrapping it will only prolong the inevitable. Contact + movement = cutting. Heat and vibration accelerate the issue.

Got another set of b16s.

Almost went to the stock setup but couldn't get myself to drill new holes in the bumper. The plate is taking a beating hanging out there. Have heard some talk about this state doing away with front plates to save $. Cant wait.

Hey guys, new to this forum and new to VWs.

I have a 2019 Golf R with 5k miles, one cracked windshields and no other mods.

Received my first mods today! Bought from RCA garage which was ridiculously cheap and fast.

- H&R 25mm RSB,
- EBC front and rear bluestuff pads.

New front tires (FK510) again after 9k miles. No rotation. Rears are still at 7/32 after 17k miles. Probably go through 2 more fronts before having to replace rears.

Don't you rotate them so you can replace all 4 at the same time?

I should've picked up a new one during bf sales

Used to with tires that last longer, but with these that last less than 10k in the front, seems like too much hassle. Just replace the fronts when they wear out and replace all 4 when the rears do.

Met a guy at autocross that has his own mounting equipment. And he will rotate tires and flip them inside out to get better wear. If I could do that, might make a bigger difference because of camber, but that's not going to happen.

being able to flip those rear performance tires makes a difference. I would only buy fronts as needed if I had the tools to unmount and flip.

Why

Quick and pain free, and everything works so far !

Is it really only Apple? No AA? I want it so bad, but not enough to get an apple phone.

I rotate before every event. They wear evenly all the way to cords.

With directional treads you can’t really rotate though. Just swap front to rear, right?

I have adequate camber now, so not an issue.

Previously, I'd rotate every event and flip after 40 to 50 runs.
