They are actually aftermarket. Found them on ebay.

Most everything on my car is OEM but them.

You can search for them, or if you want to stay OEM, just get the Audi pedals that slip on vs the rubber ones you have now.

thank you, I found out most of them are require to drill holes in order to mount them. Most of the slip on ones doesn't look good as the one you got. I guess I have to find a way to mount them thanks.

Good luck. Yep, you have to drill holes to do them. Hardest part is getting the tiny nuts on the backs of the bolts.

Default Thunderdent: Question for you?

Thunderdent:

when you order the front lower sway end links? was it to strengthen the links or a MUST change after the drop+adjustable upper control arms installation?

thanks in advance

Don't know that it was a must have. I got them to stiffen the suspension and to allow for adjustability if needed. Didn't want to have to add them after the fact.

They are much stiffer. Original OEM end links front and rear are light plastic. The 034 links are strong metal.

thank you for the information. to confirm my understanding, I called my alignment guy and he said it is not needed. But like you said. adjust-ability, stiffening, and material does improve the current upgrades done to suspension


thank you,

Look for mid-summer build completion... a few more items to come before then, but polished off with a K04 v2.0 remap......

In the meantime, some new pics will be going up this weekend hopefully...... stay tuned (pun intended)
