Do You think that this mod is necessary for golf 8R with aluminium subframe (i mean using on the track)? Asking because opinions are split.

[@034MotorsportUncut]

It's a great supporting modification regardless. It helps keep the subframe entered to prevent alignment issues, and improves chassis rigidity for improved handling performance.

As far as going stage 3 for b9s4, titanium valve springs and retainers , rocker arms , Apr head studs , injectors , fuel pump for e85 , connecting rods and piston upgrade , should any clutches or gears be changed in the transmission at all ? Or has the trans been fine over 700hp with consistent launches ?

[@034MotorsportUncut]

With our TTE810 setup, the transmission in its stock form has zero issues handling 770+ crank horsepower in extreme conditions
