Biggest difference will be the Diff.  Already have the brilliant NQSBBK so not sure what difference the 350mm kit will make.
Already have miltek DP and 2.75" system so be interesting to see what difference the BCS system makes.

Most exciting things for me in the pipeline are carbon bonnet, water meth, software update (hoping APR value my custom and have an update or take up REVO on the amnesty)

I fancied the 350s but had wondered about the weight. And the clearance in my 17s!

Looking forward to hearing your opinion on these....what pads you going for mate?

I too am concerned about stacking the weight back on but I'm sure they will stop me and look great.

Using oem Porsche pads for now.  :happy2:

Meth needs to be after the tb on the fsi.  Great reviews on vortex from people changing from pre tb to post tb and finding improved performance from doing so.

Aem meth kit for me personally.

Didn't need it.  I built it to a spec so I got the power without all the downsides of fitting meth.

I prob won't ever fit it to the vRS either.  To me its a last resort mod.
