Post by: flashp on August 09, 2013, 11:38:58 pm

Has anyone gone for one of these yet? Sorely tempted for one for DSG Pirelli now they're available.

@Danishmk5GTI - That's good to know. I've just been looking through your old threads, some great mods there!

I noted with interest you winter wheels as I have a set of 17 Monzas to go on over my S3 brakes. Haven't tried fitting them yet but I'm expecting and awkward job to change wheels, is this going to be the case? I'm hoping to have some threaded rods made to guide the wheels over the calipers etc so they don't get battered. Once wheel is on with a wheel bot in place I'd unscrew the rods. Sounds like a good idea anyway!

I also have my eye on a APR RSC exhaust when I can get the next tuning phase done, post Wavetrac though I think.

The 17" Monza will fit no problem over the S3 front brake setup, the idea of a guide when fitting is a good idea.
The APR is a quality piece of kit, only thing to be aware of is the tips as the have a tendency to get ugly. Should you buy new be sure that they will  replace them should they go bad.

Looking forward to reading your progress and thoughts on the different products  :happy2:

Dsg version.  Still, it's been out for a year.

Peloquins high torque will always get my vote, followed by the wavetrac.  I prefer the feel and stronger bite of the peloquins.
