What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

Eurosport front with EuroCode rear currently and love em.

Can you post the torque specs for the bolts? Believe they were higher than stock when I installed. Probably going to be swapping suspension and want to make sure they get tightened down right.

Instructions said 22 lbs. Feels like the stock bolts were tighter but whatevs.

New brakes all around. Zimmerman rotors abs textar pads. FCP oe replacement package. Quiet and the car stops so far. Also flashed my 93 octane tune, super smooth like the last one. Hopefully my fuel pressure stays up this time around.

Stupid request but can you share some pics of your rotors after a good spirited drive. I've got the same rotors and the fuckers blued after one spirited drive with a M3. I do have Step Tech streets with them so they may be a bit too much pad. Have replacement front rotors but thought I had a decent street set up for the drive to work....in Mexico.

Can do. I’m adding it to the long long list of items to install while I’m getting the turbo VR6 swapped in.

Did you do the full X rear brace or just the horizontal bar? I have ECS rear bar and I like how it performs, but its design for how it attaches to the seat hooks is… bad.

What are you gonna do with your old motor?

HPA’s program includes a buy back of the engine as a credit towards the swap. At least they did that for me. So it just goes to them to resell or use as they see fit afterwards.

Pleasantly surprised to find this makes a noticeable difference in steering response and reduces a little bit of chassis flex in the front. Not bad for $140

Have a buddy with a Eurocode rsb that cracked in half.

Went with the single horizontal bar. Went with eurocode as theirs mounts to the lower cargo hooks, eurosport has theirs mount to the upper supports. With dogs in the back I frequently drop the seats, so with the lower bar they just have step over it rather than crawl around in the moving car.

I use the hatch/back seats too much to use an X or K brace in the back. Maybe an underbody.

I went ST for my RSB. Eurocode rear hatch brace.

I believe the eurosport bolts are not TTY as the stock bolts are. May be the difference. it was discussed briefly when they became a popular topic about a year ago.
