You can just remove your dust shields like many people do.

I didnt realize that was a concern. I was planning to remove mine. But I guess now I will keep them.If I only tracked it then I would, but since its a DD I don't want water to be able to splash up on the rotors when they're warm and have them warp

When are you planning to test out the new pads? I am curious to know how those work. Im planning to upgrade mine to either Hawk HPS or Stoptech street pads.
As much fun as it would be to have a car with that kind of power, I have no desire to bastardise my daily seeing as 99% of the time I drive it, I'd never use it. a tune is almost a definite future mod, but until I have another reliable mode of transport, the gti will remain largely mechanically stockI am liking that hint. But it will lead you down a rabbit hole of other mods to keep power and handling in check.
I think of going K04 often.
Thanks man! Trying to figure out when I can do my next event. My friend/instructor got new wheels as well and we both need camber plates before we go back out so we don't wear our tires unevenly, so we are tentatively hoping for the first of august. I'm definitely itching to get back out though, especially with my new brakes and sways in addition to the tires. I must say I'm concerned that these will rub though. The rears stick out ALOT and I rubbed pulling into my driveway. I let them on tonight and may try to run down an on ramp later to see if I can hear them rubbing again. Hopefully I won't have to sell these amd get something else or put my stock springs on [emoji29]Good purchase! Looking fwd to more track videos!

Why don't you try the Audi TT rear shock pads? They will raise the rear by just a li'l bit.
I had not thought of that. I will look into it. Thanks for the idea!
Ninja edit:
Looked up the parts and people are saying they are approx 7.5mm thicker. I think that these plus stiffer rear sways should prevent there from being any issue.
PN for anyone interested is 8J0512149
Yep, I am using them as well; to eliminate the reverse rake from VWR springs.
Hey, Deep, do you have before and after pics with the shock pads so I can get an idea of how much clearance I'll gain with them, don't want to end up with dragster stance, haha
