    STOLEN: Ara Blue S3 and Navarra Blue S4 Avant, Melbourn, South Cambs near Herts.

    Thanks. Took my watch, wallet, wifes handbag and a large Global kitchen knife, too. Family is fine, but we were in the house and didn't hear them! There were at least 5 of them according to police so any notion of my BJJ being useful is out the window.

    STOLEN: Ara Blue S3 and Navarra Blue S4 Avant, Melbourn, South Cambs near Herts.

    what wheels are you running?

    For those of you interested, I just replaced the stock 18" wheels on Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres with a set of 19" Fuchs-made OEM ones (post #164) on Conti SC5P and the weight difference was 2kg! 19.6kg vs 20.6kg Awesome.

    Coilovers for the 8V

    One other, critical point, is that the revised suspension further accentuates the **** EPAS.

    Coilovers for the 8V

    Many thanks to @deanshaw24 for doing my install on the B16’s. Have to say they are night and day better than the stock shocks. Currently quite a bit lower on the springs but with settings at 4 all round and it’s a great compromise between ride and capability. The bounce is gone completely and...

    Time to consider a family-mobile! Opinions please? And yes it is relevant to 8V owners...

    I had to sell my Porsche and M4 with the arrival of my second and have ended up with an S4 Avant and S3. I think the S4 is a great family wagon. Doesn't feel too big and my wife hasn't yet destroyed any of the wheels, which is frankly remarkable.

    Coilovers for the 8V

    Thanks for the response. Think I might go for the B16s. The garage I just spoke to also suggested H&R ARBs front and rear with this set up. Anyone any experience with the two in conjunction?

    Coilovers for the 8V

    Hi Can anyone recommend a good specialist to install the B14's on a 2017 S3 3door? I'm in South Cambs, near Royston. B14s still the consensus VFM option to go for? Cheers!

    2017 S3 S-tronic & Steering 'Issues'

    Hey Folks So I've had my car a few months now and I have to say I really hate this gearbox - it's so unresponsive. My main gripes: Sometimes I pull the right paddle for an upshift and I get no response or up to a second of delayed response. I end up pulling it twice then I get a double upshift...

    How To: 8v Mods and Jobs

    Quick one folks. If I don't plan anything other than a Stage 1 upgrade, is it worthwhile changing the intake? I may change the downpipe at a later date, but I want the maximum power I can from S1 without any hardware mods, if possible. I assume an intake with S1 won't make much difference?
