do NOT go with the Sachs sintered paddle disc kit. You don't need it, and it sucks ass to drive. The organic disc holds 400ft-lbs and is buttery smooth to drive. Fantastic option.
I needed something to hold over 400tq on my CUA swapped MK7 Golf, and thus the sintered disc is what I went with. I can live with it, but man do I miss the organic one.
Pros: organic disc buttery smooth, organic disc holds 400ft-lbs
Cons: sintered disc sucks to drive
