That’s pretty nuts!
I saw someone on the MCM FB group was doing a Golf RSR wagon, transplanting the RS3 running gear into a Golf R Wag. It’s still in the works and surely will need a lot of detail...

Yes, initial bite seems the same as factory, hot cold or wet. Have had to wait until fully bedded in to get the true impression.
I mentioned the disc surfaces becoming very smooth, almost polished,...
Update on my DBA Street Series T2 front rotors and Street Series ceramic pads.
Took approx. 1-2 weeks commuter driving to fully bed in.
Bite is excellent now, good progressive feel and no noise...
This^^.
I think I’ve had the same problems myself, the switches are hard to tell if they are on or off!

You probably want OEM again/semi-metallics which should have a sharper initial bite than ceramics judging by online feedback.
Yes, I agree, bite is still good but less sharp and more progressive/bit less grabby; still with heaps of easy retardation available.
Well it worked - after a few tries at the final step.
Paid the $ (20 euro) to GPS Pocket World to subscribe for the camera location files, downloaded the latest version of POInspect0r, paid the $...
Well not so much for your benefit but others in similar situation - having not done this for 3 years it had become unfamiliar.
Mine was 25 Gb compressed, near 30 decompressed, it’s a slow boat.

I just got a similar message from VW "brakes are down to 2 mm do you want us to replace?"
Knowing how much they would charge I declined and started shopping.

Yes, that sound like my recollections.
I ordered a MY19 in late 2018 and by then (Oct ‘18 I think) DAP was standard, only options were paint, Dynaudio and Sunroof.
Yeah, me the same, they were grippy but short lived.
I can understand how only highway Kay’s could stretch them to 50 000 but mainly daily city commutes finished mine quickly.
hoping the...
Yes, notified same in my MY19R, on most startups, the wipers shift a bit with a small pop noise.
It’s hard to hide the completely different bumpers front and back, quad exhausts as mentioned, headlights/drls also very different to cooking models, not to mention the 19” wheels! Badges are the...
