I used all hand tools and yes, the rears were a pain. Lift the car as much as you can and you should be able to fit a medium sized breaker bar in there. Those things are on there tight so I was under the car with one hand bracing against the control arm while my friend was holding the creeper...
Still have a few items available for pickup in San Carlos. Brought down the prices a bit.
Brand new H&R 24mm Rear Sway Bar [$210] SOLD
Opened box to take pictures but rest of packaging has not been touched. Great handling upgrade.
aFe Magnum Pro Dry S Filter with about 5K miles on it [$25]...
Shoot, that jack would've been great if I'd seen this a couple of weeks ago. I just bought the same one new to install my downpipe. Way better than the little old trolley jack I was using before.
Few different parts I've got available for pickup in San Carlos
Brand new H&R 24mm Rear Sway Bar [$210] SOLD

Have a set of the stock Dallas/Milton wheels that came with my 2018 GTI. The tires are the original Bridgestone Potenzas (225/40R18). Took these off last August with 18,670 miles on them and been storing them inside a warehouse. Couple of the wheels have some curb rash and they have some light...
I have a TCR muffler for the mk7.5, which is the same thing as the mk7 clubsport S muffler as far as I know. I have the stage 1 EQT tune with the "burbles" option in sport mode. They're definitely more of a crackle/pop and bang than burbles. Even with the stock downpipe I think they sound pretty...
So I've been running EQT stage 1 for a few weeks now on stock plugs and haven't seen any KR on the AP during WOT so far. I'll try doing some proper logging this weekend. Most of my driving is just around town / commuting with the occasional on-ramp pull and some spirited mountain driving. I have...
