I'm thinking of getting this, any of y'all have one installed? Thoughts?

Actually it's this below, the one I posted b4 is for mk7, but same exact principle...

Just installed mine about 2 weeks ago. You get a little more feedback in the clutch pedal and the overall feel when shifting and driving is nicer. I wouldn't say that it'll make a dramatic difference but I enjoy the improvement. Just another mod to add to the list
.Haven't noticed any harsh vibrations after the install.

I don't have one made of al-u-min-ium, but I like my BFI stage 1 insert. You get used to the extra vibrations real quick and it isn't bothersome. Seemed to tighten things up. Can't comment on clutch feel, as mine shifts itself like magic.

Thanks to both for feedback! More is welcome. So far glad to hear vibration is minimal. I was a bit worried of faster than usual wear&tear and do HATE developing annoying little dash or center console rattles (at the end of the day still an R not an S3 or M4) so that's as important as shift crispness. At the same time feeling more movement when engaging clutch at higher rpms with stage 1 and looking to tighten things up a bit. Always a trade off but sounds like a good balance. I think I'll pull the trigger!

Will you let us know how it goes? I've yet to pull the trigger on an insert myself.

Will do! Probably have it done when due for cam follower inspection and replacement alongside the 40k service. At 38k now...
