Yeahhh, I'm gonna need info on your wheel & tire setup - that's gorgeous. Are those RT660s and RPF1s? I'm looking for something grippier for my GTI (and probably new wheels to boot), but I don't know that I want to spend the coin for the Falkens for what's ultimately a weekend car. A set a season for the autocross car is bad enough, so I'm sort of tossing around the idea of another set of DWS06+, or maybe the Pilot Sports. Rain competency is a must, but I'm not expecting to have the car out in snow unless there's some flavor of dire need.
If rain is a concern get Pilots, otherwise DWS06. I have the DWS now and driving in rain is not as pleasant as with the Pilot's, the tradeoff is I grip better when it's dry.

Hmm I was wondering about that…
If you pop a pipe driving just put it in Eco mode and fix at home. Benefit of not having a maf car

Notice an immediate difference?
Absolutely. I didn’t realize how bad that hpfp OTS was, after moving away from that OTS E85 tune. This is my OG Ed Protune and I’m loving it

Measure 6 times, use a centered center punch, and still managed to get one of the six holes off by about half a mil., just enough that it won't thread in.

Just oblong your hole in the brace a little then with a round file / dremel or old drill bit
