Going on a mountain drive this weekend, excited to see the capabilities of the car outside the city.
Also - some great news: Unlike every single other brake upgrade offering, VW's upgraded front brakes from the mk8 R will bolt up to the mk7.5R and not require any spacers or aftermarket wheels to work.
This is huge as I have not wanted to run spacers or aftermarket wheels on my car. Now I have an OEM upgrade that is plug and play.
I can get them powdercoated to match the performance pack caliper plate too. So... 3 years later, the brakes problem might finally be nearing an end.
