Thanks. I've already managed to find it out in ETKA.

Sockets are, correct, 1K8972928, and the repair wires (each has 2 pins) are 000979025E (each rear light has 6 pins used, no need to order 8 pins per light).

I had Ferodo DS2500s on my hybrid diesel Ibiza with grooved discs, would stand the thing on end lol. And would make a rather satisfying wurrrrr when properly getting on the anchors.

Some seriously nice mods here mate! Will be a monster once its done...

Yeh DS2500s are awesome! Unfortunately I run out of time and couldnt pick up the pads so going to order them online, just got some crappy ones for the min.

Fitting these turned into a nightmare, took 11 hours and there still not right! Although I should have them sorted tomorrow. A couple of pics below:

Didnt even get time to do my RARB or polybush as it was 1am when we finished on the brakes! :(

The discs hit the hub knuckle and lower ball joint and needed to be about 10mm further away to clear. So we engineered something to make them clear but when the wheels are on the ground and camber, aka turning or bumps the back of the disc smashes against the ball joint.

Its fucked my ball joint and disc. Not good for a "straight fitting kit" that cost £370. I could of made a better kit for £50 and bought correct discs. The company are at GTI international so they can have there shitty discs back! I want a refund on them. I have the CORRECT discs coming tomorrow :)

They just got a massive email as its not just that but I told them I was coming on Friday and they didnt even have my parts there I had to wait an hour and a half there for them to sort it. Was just a bad experience from the get go.

All that crap almost made me forget I got a remap lol! I made 274bhp and 362ftlb

Nice! How was your experience with awesome gti, ive bought a couple of things from them no problems but how are they at their centre? Good i bet. Oh and totally random question...but do you think a sachs performance clutch would work with a DMF instead of Single mass for when i eventually go stage 2? Asking everyone basically lol cheers

Yeh it was good I have been there a few times in the past anyway mate but they are good.

I would speak to sach as I dont know the exact setup you will be running but if the clutch plate is the correct size then there should be no issues.
