Other than that being a heavy, cast wheel and not worthy of a tire that good…you won’t have any physical issues.

No…it’s people, myself included, finally figuring out what’s causing the car to freak out when we thought the front brakes didn’t matter. There’s multiple posts a week about this in the FB groups.

People have still had issues. No matter what you want to “thumbs down” and say you sure as hell don’t need…it’s actually pretty fucking smart to have it on standby. My car has been hung in BSM twice now…I won’t touch the brakes without a laptop on hand. This ain’t your ‘78 Chevy.

If you change pads and push fluid back through the MC you absolutely need it in Service Mode…and a lot of people are having issues with it not coming out of service mode…which makes Forscan a handy thing to have available to get it out of Service Mode. Actually changing parts and moving fluid...

Read everything you can find on Brake Service Mode and the issues people have with front brakes. Be prepared with Forscan at a minimum.

I put it a 170° t-stat to keep mine in that range. It’s fine.

Bro…check thread dates before replying. 1.5 year old sale posts are probably dead.

A touch snug but I fit. I drove out Mk7 daily for a year or more. We’re on our 2nd Mk8 and I jump in that every chance I get on the weekends. The Mk7.5 R though…that’s the pinnacle of that platform IMO. It’s the perfect blend of digital and analog.

You’ll be fine. Just make sure they know where to adjust from.

About the same give or take a few mm

Yep…I’m always low key shopping for a 2019 Golf R. I don’t like the 25 ST’s at all…can’t see building another one.

Unless you’re doing a giant SPL system you may not. What are your plans?

6-8mm is max with a slip on spacer.

That still won’t be flush if that’s what you’re after.

Yes it will work but why? 1/4” isn’t gonna make an appreciable difference.

They can’t rev it past the safeties already built in…it’s gonna be just fine.

It snaps onto a retainer. The retainer is what bolts to the car up there so have them make sure that’s straight and if so…just like I said on Facebook days ago…that’s why heat guns exist.

I do all my own work. This was documented in my build log here.

Correct

They killed it in early 2022. Cars still under warranty can actually get it swapped under a TSB. I’m way past that point.
