Where did you get the brace from? Looks good ticked away. Has it made a difference?
I got it at a local shop at a discount. It's not some kind of brand, just a generic Golf MK7 thing. I hear less noise from the sunroof when driving over bumps at low speed (it used to feel and sound like the body would move instead of the suspension, now that's no longer the case), and on the highway, it feels a bit more sturdy/solid when changing lanes at higher speeds.
Thanks for the reply and review. I didn’t realise golf mk7’s would fit. One to think about…thanks
This is the reason I won’t debadge. It looks so clean which is great but the seat badge looks odd. What do you do with it though?!

Thank you. By 'original LIN bus wiring' I assume you mean splicing into the existing wiring to the RGB door lights?
that bigger brakes dont mean better braking. Bigger brakes dont heat up that fast, so they maintain their performance for longer period while driving hard (probably on track). So its less brake fade. On the pro side, you have much better brake feel and its more consistent.
Thanks! I don't disagree with what you're saying that's roughly how brakes work. The theory that bigger isn't always better can be said for many other components such as intercoolers and it essentially all comes down to making the right choice. Bigger brakes don't mean better braking when the kit isn't developed specifically for a given platform. This isn't the case here, this kit was developed specifically for MQB cars and racingline themselves claim about 10 feet braking distance reduction, which may not seem much but that's on a single stop. After repetitive braking they clearly state that the difference is "getting really noticeable" (https://www.racingline.com/big-brake-kit-golfr-golfgti-audis3-audirs3-auditt-leoncupra).Nice setup! But i have to tell you little secret
