    Lowering the RS3 8Y

    Looking to lower the car very slightly, in the 10/15mm range. Have you tried something similar, maybe Eibach Pro-Kits? Thanks

    Wheel color poll

    Hello. I’m swapping wheels for a lighter set and I’m not sure whether I should go with black or silver. The car is Daytona with black optics, so black wheels would look menacing for sure but I find they lose a lot of detail and contrast. Silver would greatly show the wheel design, I have seen...

    12.5mm front/15mm rear spacers: need for mudguards or ppf?

    Good to hear, thank you. How do the AP mud flaps blend with the look of the car? Look clean and unnoticeable or a bit intrusive?

    Good options for forged wheels?

    I’m considering getting a set of forged wheels to save some weight. What are good suggestions for our 8Y? Thanks!

    12.5mm front/15mm rear spacers: need for mudguards or ppf?

    I have seen several cases of side skirts and fenders damaged by rock debris when spacers are used. How’s the 8Y in this regard, are you doing anything to protect when running the typical 12.5/15mm setup? Thanks

    Any way to avoid automatic downshifts?

    No, I tried a few approaches but it’s always going back to Auto, and unfortunately downshifting way too early for my tastes. If I’m missing anything, I’m all ears! I had an 8V S3 which was perfect, and only downshifted if decelerating to 1000 rpm or so. On the RS3 it scales back almost...

    ASR exhaust valve controller

    Yes guys you are right, but I asked them last week and still haven’t received a reply. That’s why I was asking here, though this exhaust is not very common.

    ASR exhaust valve controller

    I would like to know if the ASR module will work with an Akrapovic exhaust. I have the module and it’s working great with stock exhaust, now can I simply swap the exhaust with the Akra and keep the ASR as it is without further work? I’d rather not mess with the Akra remote controller if not...

    Any way to avoid automatic downshifts?

    Even in ECO or comfort mode, I still find the gearbox to downshift too early when decelerating, is there any way to keep it in M so that it stays in the selected gear? Thank you

    Looking for 10mm spacers

    Mmm ok, I was specifically looking for the rear. H&R code 2055573A seems to be ok for the rear, as recommendation is: - Only suitable for cars with a max. wheel hub length of 15 mm - Only suitable for wheels with an inner bavel of minimum 6x45°

    Looking for 10mm spacers

    Thank you. On the compatibility chart I can’t see RS3 8Y, only 8V… can you confirm these are the correct ones? https://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/car-parts/audi/rs3/hr-trak-10mm-hubcentric-wheel-spacers-boltsrs3-8v-20152019

    Looking for 10mm spacers

    Thank you, I see your point. I’m specifically looking for 10mm because I only want to give a slight touch to the rear axle. The front looks ok to me as it is, and I’m not planning on lowering the car.

    Looking for 10mm spacers

    I’m struggling to find good quality 10mm spacers for the new RS3. 12.5 and 15 are quite common, but where can I find 10’s? Thank you for your suggestions

    USB setup for music

    Got a 2023 8Y, with USB-C ports in the front. The system reads my USB-C stick, but only sees songs that are not in folders. That’s a problem for me because I organized all my archive as Artist—>Album—>Song Any tips for making it work? I’d hate to extract all the songs from their folders and put...

    Akrapovic vs others

    Looking for a nice exhaust, considering Akrapovic but also BTM and Capristo. Does titanium sound different than steel? Anyone cares to describe the difference? Thank you!

    Audio Underwhelming?

    Come on, how can the B&O be worse than standard audio setup? Try removing surround and 3D effect, and moving the balance a little more to the front (say ear level). Once setup that way I’m not finding it bad. Still, the 8V was punchier and much louder (sounds like it has 30/40% more power)

    Audio Underwhelming?

    Had B&O in my 8V S3, now have B&O in 8Y RS3. In my opinion the older system has an advantage, but still the new one isn’t bad. It sounds a bit less full and balanced now, but it’s possible that with some break-in time it will become very similar
