Thank you Raj. Yes, I had the front and rear OPS parking sensors installed. I shared a picture on the opening post showing them working. :wink:

Nicely done mate  :happy2:

I've gone to another track day at Estoril last March. Now for the first time with the Bilstein B16, the LSD and the TTE420 fitted. It confirmed that the OEM brake discs can't handle the Carbotech XP20, even braking lightly before the corners. So I've decided to upgrade the front brake setup and some other bits.

Parts bought since the track day:
-Set of TTRS 8J calipers in good condition, painted red and with white GTI letters (8J0615107A; 8J0615108A)
-Front 2-piece 362x32mm disc & caliper carrier kit - allows fitment of 4 piston TTRS/RS3 Brembo calipers (DI0003)
-PFC 11 compound brake pads (1001)
-Brake pads mount kit (8J0698269 x2)
-Passat B6/S3 8P aluminium spindles with wheel bearings (3C0407257F and 3C0407258F)
-Other small bits needed (WHT005437 x2; WHT000785 x4; N91084901 x4)
-RS3 suspension control arm air ducts (8P0863149B; 8P0863150B; N10422203 x2; N90761102 x2; 8P0864133A x2)
-SuperPro adjustable ball joints (TRC0003)
-SuperPro rear heavy duty sway bar link kit (TRC1045L)
-Used AKS Tuning VAG TFSI cam follower to TSI cam follower roller conversion kit from @Pudding
-HPPF seal (WHT005184) and timing chain cover gasket (06D103121B)
-Revised engine oil dipstick (06F115611F)
-PolarFIS Advanced PF04

I finally went to pickup the calipers today. I wish the painter centred better the letters. I hope it won't be that noticeable once fitted in the car.


Oh, I got a few pictures from the track day as usual.

Lets see if I can get the new parts fitted without any clearance issues between them.
