Madtrace paddles installed on my CS, really nice!
Hi there, had to see what the rage was all about so decided to buy a pair of these paddles. Purchased from polarbearz, super nice guy/great seller and all went well!
Installation was of course a snap, especially if you've worked on the steering wheel before for these cars. I actually really like the clicking and I think the matte look goes with the CS interior. I also took the time to install the matte carbon trim from the M2, along with iND's polar blue button trio. What's really nice about these paddles, unlike the usual flappy paddles, is that you can pull them from anywhere on the paddle and the car will shift. The flappy paddles really only work well in the middle, while these can be used top/bottom/anywhere. The shifts are instant and the *click* is really kind of cool. In all honesty, with the windows down etc. I really don't even notice them. Considering how much just the stock DCT paddles/modules cost, I think these are a pretty amazing deal considering they come with two sets of paddles and include the modules. The ONE thing to look out for on install is that the new paddles come with their own installation screws, do not try to use the factory/stock screws! This is clearly mentioned on the back of the box, but I just wanted to give anyone interested a heads up. I'd highly recommend purchasing these, you have nothing to lose and I bet you'd really like them like I do. ![]() |

I tracked them several times with gloves. I don’t have any problem when shifting. They are amazing!

My paddles feel like they are closer to my steering wheel then stock. I had to readjust them several times to make sure they were flush with the wheel frame. But I do agree. They feel awesome and the clicking is pretty satisfying.
