Go AP coilovers, springs will ruin the dampers in no time with that amount of mileage and it’ll become bouncy as. I’ve had both and have since been daily driving the same set of ap coilovers for around 7 years now and they are still spot on

Yeah, I’ve got felt tape stuck to most things to stop a lot of it. Perks of crap roads and coilovers I suppose

Awesome for a daily driver, not a lot can match it on the roads. Only thing that doesn’t like it mechanically is the clutch/flyweel. Even the aftermarket Sachs organic isn’t really upto it mines been in for maybe 15k miles now and the dual mass is knackered already and the bite is in the middle...

Drive it in town and treat it gently, as little boost as possible for 1000 miles. Not that it matters really as the DMF on my Sachs setup seems to be shot anyway already. keep providing feedback on your setup please as will be looking at going the same route just SMF next time

It’s all the way down on ap coilovers, if your lowering it you’ll have issues with anything wider than 225 tyres as you can see from the photos.

Couple shots to help 225/40/18 et45

Front I'd say as it's the wheels turning in and out of the arch when cornering. And the back you can add camber to stop the rubbing. 8J will still rub if lowered, it's down to the offset. Some people say 215 tyres stop any rubbing but it's a lot of stretch on an 8.5j wheel. How low is the car...

Depends if it's lowered. I've got 225 on 8.5j et45 and it rubs but that's cus it's really low to the point you can just about get the tip of your finger in the arch gap

Yeah looks like same system as on mine, loud enough as is so would be interesting to hear a WRC one in person

Just to let you know the exhaust isn't the WRC version if it's the same as in the pics. The WRC one doesn't have any midboxes as they get replaced by a helmholz resonator

It’s not always about speed, the manual makes the better noise is what he’s saying and I agree. Got an rs3 that’s s tronic and still got my manual s3 and the s3 is more rewarding to drive out of the two. The auto doesn’t backfire on gear changes, just makes a gay farting noise. Don’t get me...

S3's are supposed to have matching on both axles anyway due to the quattro

Have you tried http://volkscraft.com/ They are vag specialist in exeter

Well it is, your the one who’s telling me it’s wrong when the experts that fitted the tyres said the pressures will be fine. I’m just relaying what they’ve said is fine. Likewise, having 225 tyres on an 8.5J alloy is probably wrong in your eyes as they are slightly stretched. However, the...

If they didn't sit flat the outside edges would wear quicker than the middle, have run these pressures since I've had these wheels and am on my 3rd set of tyres on them and the wear is always perfect. Bearing in mind the s3 brakes are huge compared to normal cars I think the braking distance...
