S2T Replacement DSG Paddle Shifters Group Buy

[Ryan_R]

Can someone explain why these tiny things cost so much, even with the discount?

[Corey_R]

They're far cheaper than the TIG Design ones, and about equal with the "tape on" ones from ECU tuning... not sure why you think they are expensive. They're obviously a pretty niche product...

[Ryan_R]

I spent less on the GTI pedals, which seem a tad more... substantial

[Corey_R]

Of course.... but VW have made a million GTI's, and all of them have pedals. It's basic economies of scale

Ryan, if you can design them in 3D CAD and have them CNC machined yourself to the same level of quality and finish for cheaper, please let me know and I will be first on the order book

[Ryan_R]

Maybe not, but if you don't mind them being a plastic + sticky tape job, you know where to look

I'm sure they're making a decent profit otherwise they wouldn't be selling them. Since I'm in the IT business I guess I've gotten used to getting a lot of techie things for Asian (good) prices, so when I saw those two small paddles being sold for over $200 originally, I was looking to see what rare-earth materials they were made out of :p But ignore me

Yes, machining and labor costs.

The block 6061 T-6 Aluminum material used to create our Paddle Shifters is relatively cheap, but, the labor time spent Machining and Finishing the Aluminum Paddles are not. Also, please consider that once the machining is completed we then have the additional costs of De-Burring, Tumbling, Finishing/Blasting, Anodizing, Laser Engraving, and finally, Packaging.

All-in-all, creating a single pair of S2T Performance Paddle Shifters is a very costly and lengthy process.

I have them too and love them. Perfect fit and look like original equipment. Would buy them again if I got another DSG VW

Received my paddles on Friday. Awesome quality product.

Thanks for the quick delivery Michael.

[Tobes_WIR35]

Likewise, mine turned up this week too. Hopefully fitting them tomorrow. No more missing the paddles on upshifts whilst cornering!!

Michael, maybe a polished aluminium option would be a winner? I think that would look great!

Guys, ummm, I have to make a confession. I've had my S2T paddles for a few months now but yet to install them. I know, I know, I have plenty of excuses though but I am ashamed with myself!! It won't happen overnight but it will happen. Oh and I do hold them in my hand from time to time.

All jokes aside they are very good quality in all aspects and I believe worth the dollars.
