What did you do to your mk7 today?

[EpicTech]

"Clubsport" rear wing progress is slow, had to order more Reflex Silver as I can't find the stock that I have, save for my touch up pen. Sanded the primer down and got them all smooth. Tonight will wipe down with prep cleaner. Paint gets here Sunday.

But did you die?

I'm ashamed to admit, I've been eyeing a zhong zhong AP Racing 6 pot with 355mm rotor chinesium knockoff for $800.

You've inspired me with your lack of dying.

Link? I could use an upgrade...

$400 more and you get OEM TTRS, but wait! There's more! You get 370mm!

lmk because I'd like to have a braking upgrade as well and would be interested in your zz brake setup

Zhong zhong offers up to 380mm. I'm looking at 355mm to give myself more wheel options and because I want to see if the factory mk8 R rotors would work with them.

And where can you get TTRS calipers, lines and discs for $1200?

I know I have already posted some photos of the car recently but just did a good hand wash and dry. Couldn't resist taking it out for a few pics.

Specs:
18x8 et45 5mm rear spacer
255/35 tires
APR coilovers

Just installed the coilovers on Friday night and couldn't be happier. Upgraded from H&R Sport springs on stock struts.
Man do these ever ride 10x better, I shouldve ditched those springs 7 years ago.

What kit is this? Was looking at H&R Street Performance Plus since I don't wanna slam it completely but a height like this is probably where I'd wanna be at.

What you said totally makes sense. I picked up my entire kit, including lines off Facebook marketplace. I do realize that it isn’t something you find every day too.

Mentions in the post that it's the APR coilover kit. Was looking last night as maybe a decent entry-level kit, but not a lot of reviews on it, but apparently made by Eibach. Considering it because hurr durr red.

My bad, a bit blind. Might look into those as well.

That’s the old one that was rebranded Eibach. The new kit they just released, nobody is sure who the white label is yet.

Good to know. I need a suspension refresh soon but been weighing various options/prices.

New ones are pretty much the ECS, spulen, Neo max, Godspeed, rev 9…

yikes..

yikes..

Yeah I’m sure the margins are bigger on the new kits for Apr than the old kits at their full price too, so I get it for a business move…

The original kit on the clearance price is a great deal when you consider you’re getting the “quality level” of a comparable $1,100+ kit for under 800.
