How has your experience with Costco been for mounting tires?
Bushings make a world of difference. I initially had torque solutions and they were great. Upgraded to 42 DD (because I got an OEM metal relay lever) and they are a bit better in my opinion. You're only going to do it once so just go for 42DD. Shifter alignment is key once you change these out. Look at the dieselgeek YouTube videos and make sure you get the right pin tool or nail.BFI knob and Audi S3 short shifter. Should I get 42DD, Torque Solution bushings or stay stock?

They measured 16lb 5.2oz on my mail scale.
I've honestly never used Costco for tires before. Have always been able to get better deals through eBay or online, then have them mounted at Discount Tire. These PS4S came withy a $70 insta rebate and $250 Costco Cash Card IIRC so I had to bite. We'll see how it goes. They said no problem mounting and balancing the rubber without putting it on the car, since I won't be putting these on till the last freeze in March or so.

I actually swapped out the oem valance with an aftermarket carbon fiber rear diffuser that fits the width of the tips. ECS sells the tips for $547/pair but I was able to grab a set for $240. I will take pics once everything is completed.

BFI Golf Ball shift knob. This is seriously worth it! Great weighting. The knob is slightly smaller and just feels right in the hand, and the narrow base is so preferable to the cheap and odd plastic "dual column" stock design.

Let me know how the install goes. I have this same kit and the rear 15mm spacers would not sit flush against the hub, they made contact with the hub dust cap before sitting flush against the hub.

Wheels look great, I just wish the face of the wheels were flush. I've been thinking of getting the same wheels but in 18X8 et35 to get the flush look.

I keep reading about that, I didn't notice it and honestly, I don't think I have a dust cap...just the end of the hub is open with a nut in it. Install was super easy, no drama. Just made sure I was super anal about torqueing them down. Seems to be fine on the highway/no vibes beyond what it already had
