Seen H&R spacers from Performance Alloys.com Unsure if reputable, where did everyone else get theres?

DR24 (12mm) @ £84.43 and DR 20 (10mm) Version B @ £79.55.

Problem is what bolts do you get? Diffrerent lengths etc.

R coming in March and fancy spacers, 10mm front 15 rear. Few questions here for people who have them currently or used before:

- Is H & R the best spacers and do i buy them direct from their site?
- Do i need to buy longer bolts from H & R or do they come with the spacers?

Thanks

I have H&R spacers fitted to mine. Excellent quality and a snug fit. H&R now sell longer wheel bolts with locking bolts. The lock key is identical to VW's one. I got mine from alloy-wheels.ie. They are a H&R dealer but are based in Dublin.

Clutch stops, what do we reckon, pointless tack or cheap easy mod?

[GrahamFR]

Bought this the other day http://www.amdtuning.com/product.details.cfm?ProductID=17598&VariantID=4967&ReferenceID=192901, should be able to fit it myself, just be a pita taking the induction kit off. Read some really positive reviews about it so we shall see how it performs. Also order that clutch stop, I know its a bit tacky but since seeing it i have thought the clutch travel in my car does seem unnecessarily long  will update as the week goes on.

See how it performs on tomorrow's drive to work...

Driving a DSG then it obviously doesn't make a difference to me! Will be interesting to hear how you get on mate.

I wonder when Revo are releasing Stage 2..,.

I've recently acquired 2x Michellin Pilot Super Sports off my mates BMW M135I since he's put a set of winter tyres on. They're going on the fronts this Thursday. Will tell you how they perform.

I don't understand why they are taking so long you know savage, I hope it's just harder to turn the cel light off than before and not a hardware issue...

Unitronics is out tho so hopefully not.

I think really people do not get the remapping business and why they do not prioritise Stage 2, how many Stage 1 maps do the sell to Stage 2

Revo are working on the Stage 2 map for the R at the moment, i had their R last week to evaluate for two a couple of days, amazingly drivable with such a liner delivery and throttle pedal and know they have been testing at Bruntingthorpe

Totally different to their Stage 1 mapping when you speak to the calibration engineers on the R, all be it their ideal is to closely relate

They have an Octy VRs so I am sure the will get round to it

I understand the cashcows are in stage 1s but stage 2 gives them an excuse to push their hardware so it's still worth getting it out when you can. I know one cupra that's been running stage 2 for a few months now but still no official release, just don't know why it's taking Apr and revo so long.

Meant to add savage that eurodyne also have stage 2 out as well but I don't know much about them.
