500 miles (stop and go not highway) breakin?!?!take it really easy,
shift around 2-2.5 k rpm (for around 250 miles), no engine break, no wot, and after 400 miles gradually get in it ...i doubt you did that.
i had absolutely no problem , my rs4 and resurfaced stock flywheel grab like a moder F. now, it feels like i'm driving the car for the first time .. everytime (alsmost) when i go from a stop.

My concern is that the tech called me from the test drive because the were only hitting 10psi
they had mixed up ecus and wanted to be sure it was making full boost. Don't know how they would have hit full boost without fragging the cluctch.
Thanks for your input, I rolled into boost at about 50mph in 4th and it let go - maybe it was a little more aggressive then I thought - but my daughter was actually sleeping in the back at the time...

mmmm. hey offtopic but ? about your ultras
what do you have the height set at? i want to go as high as possible when i install it. i dont have a lot of experience with CO's though ( i always used fixed spring) is it safe to raise it all the way? should i leave alot of threads on top of the adjusters?

Ultras put your car very low. I'm near the highest settings and ~25.5" from ground to fender.
You can go well below 25" with the ultras.
FYI: Many have had H&R Ultra shocks blow and then H&R denies the warranty claiming the car was adjusted too high. Some of these cars were even below 25" and they claim the same thing. They are a bunch of *******. This just most recently happened to my brother. My brother has now blown each of his 4 H&R shocks, but they only replaced 2 when they blew a couple of years ago.

feek.... this makes me sad
i dont want to go low because i dont want alignment issues. i want to be able to adjust it as close to stock as possible.
oh and "from ground to fender"... thats from the ground to the center of the wheel well, correct?
