    Anti roll bar help!!!

    I don't see why it wouldn't fit an A3 quattro, though to the best of my knowledge the FWD A3 has a solid beam rear suspension and therefore is different. Daniel

    Break bleeding question

    Did your master cylinder reservoir run dry when bleeding your rear brakes? that may explain the hissing (fluid depleted letting air in to brake system) and also would explain spongy brakes. Daniel

    Seat Leon Cupra R brakes on A3 8L?

    G'day. The brembos will bolt up assuming you have the carriers that come with them. you'd also be wise to make sure the offset of your current 18's will clear the brembos as they are wider than the standard single piston caliper. Regarding caliper condition, best start would be to visually...

    oil catch can question (not fitment)

    G'day. Best bet would be to just stuff the new one you bought with steel wool as a sponge would most likely deteriorate, you could go a stage further and make a small baffle to better trap the oil vapour though i think this may be overkill unless your engine has some serious blow-by. Daniel.
