What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

[Paul70]

Be careful getting wheel alignment on the TCR to ensure the workshop has the correct geometry settings for the car as they run negative camber.

Is it only the TCR that can be set up with negative camber?  Do you know what might be different in the front to allow for this compared to the GTi PP 2019?  I know the CS has the different hubs but didn't know the TCR ran a different setting.  Will be looking to get an alignment possibly this year when i switch back to summer wheels/tyres.

No Mk7 or 7.5 supports camber adjustment. The TCR (and ED40) have the same geometry set up as the PP GTI but actual camber is quite different depending on the car and subframe position etc. The Clubsport S (CSS) also has fixed camber, albeit the camber is around 1 degree higher due to specific wheel bearing hubs.

Fitted the rear lower wishbone covers from the Mk8 as per golfdave's post on the Mk7 Forum. Will be interesting to see what effect they have

Only difference I noted after a year was wishbones are chip free.

Thanks for clarifying, that's what I thought, but was hoping...

Late Xmas pressie for my CS 

[EB2019]

They are nice discs, shame to cover them up behind wheels

Did you get the VW  matching pads ? Or other?

[CS#303]

I didn't get any pads yet.
I've just put on EBC Yellow Stuff on the rear, they seem to have good grip and I was drawn to the low dust, to help keep my wheels nice so may look at those for the front.

[EB2019]

Yellow pads seem to have mixed reviews some love them and keep on fitting when they need replacing, others hate them. Never tried them myself, but they wouldn't be around if EBC didn't sell loads so they seem very popular. The VW Clubsport S pads are Ferodo (probably DS2500 for VW) which I find pretty good for premium spirited road pads.  Quiet, stop from cold and can take a hot summer and fast 'road' driving. If you do trackdays I really like Carbotech XP8 but another jump in price again, and they certainly are dusty and noisy (like a freight train slowing down), but they would keep going long after my tyres and I were done lol.

BTW

Do you have a car in your living room, or carpet in your garden?

[CS#303]

Thanks for the thoughts on the pads EB2019.
I don't do track days and generally drive pretty gently, so am not looking for a big increase in stopping power, but am keen on quiet and low dust to keep the wheels nice.
So we'll see how the Yelllow stuff works out.

I fitted an EBC Ultimax pad and disk kit to the front of my wife's 2016 Scirocco GTS and they seem to work pretty well and were decent quality at a good price.

I know the Clubsport S disks are an upgrade but mostly cosmetic for me as I just love em! 

Oh and a mix of carpet and artificial grass in the garage.

Fitted new number plates, double sided tape so no ugly screws showing. New plates look so much better and cost very little and easy to fit.
