I'm still here but yes sold the RS back in 2015, only had it for a year actually. Wedding and house move forced the sale sadly, currently driving a DSG MK2 Octavia VRS CR170 which is a good daily but I'm constantly finding myself looking at 8P RS3's online, best car I've ever had and I'll...

So back on the BBS lol I got more for the Advans than i paid for them so not a money losing exercise at least. They defo suit the car better I think, ah well was worth a shot!

Hey Dave, The latest part number for the RS3 discs is 8P0 615 301B You can usually pick them up for around £400 the pair from your local TPS or some of the online parts specialists, I have no idea what the Audi RRP is on them but I suspect nearer £600 EDITED - actually, here's them for...

Well spotted haha Was a gamble mate and tbh, I'm just not sure I'm getting on with them, the colour mainly, not sure I'm 100% and cannot bring myself to refurb a 6 week old set of Advan wheels lol Just can't help thinking the car looks better like this: Doh! The BBS just...

Finally bit the bullet and decided to take advantage of a free APR remap I won, would have been rude not to to be honest! Car made 348bhp and 360ft/lb on standard software just with a panel filter and milltek 2nd cat bypass pipes... Had some issues, new plugs, first attempt of uploading...

Cheers for the comments :) So as promised here's a couple of quick pics of the new wheels on. The car's lowered now too on Lowtec front springs from Germany, I was happy with the ride height at the back and just wanted the front arch gap sorted as we all know it rides higher at the front. I...

Just a little update. You will remember that I'd had one of these split which was due to my jack having a cup rather than a flat. Well there's a solution for those that have a cup style jack...

So a little update. I've fitted winter tyres to the BBS CK and have been looking for some lighter summer and track wheels as the BBS are pretty damn heavy at 27lb plus nice to have a complete set to swap over for winter. I was adamant I wanted them in the standard RS3 spec of ET50 19x8J so I can...

Awesome......

My S3 was a great car, I loved mine and ad no point did I think it was not worth every penny I paid for it, my RS3 is just better lol

I think I'll be picking up a set of these Redstuff for my RS3 next week for every day driving, my freshly replaced under warranty pads are making a bit of a mess of my new discs already after just 2000miles, not to mention the dust and average bite. Pleased to say there's no squeal though so...

Handling is better than a standard S3 for sure, handles very much like my S3 did with B8 dampers, the RS3 is well damped from the factory. That said it's still a fat assed car the Sportback (in S3 and RS3 guise) and can become a little unsettled at the back at high speed over really windy b...

Actually the previous issue was not the same at all, it was about the rear wheel rubbing on an S3 Sportback, which you and others correctly pointed out was due to the ET44 wheel and a 235 tyre, thanks for that, changing to a 225 sorted as you said it would. Given the subject is the front of an...

Ahh right enough, thanks. So my Advan ET42 8.5J would be a full 11mm further out in the arch than that, never going to work, even with the extended carbon arches is it?

Have a read of my thread mate as I've just done exactly what you are looking at. I traded in my 2010 Sportback S3 for a 2013 RS3 and dont regret a single aspect of switching, it's a very very different car despite the very close relationship...

Hi all, I'm after some advice. I'm after a new set of wheels for my RS3 for the "summer" season (as if we get such a thing lol). After a lot of deliberation I'm 95% set on these very nice Advan RSII in "Hyper Black" which is more of a titanium/gunmetal finish, I think they will look cracking...

One of the double ones from the same seller split clean in half on my old S3 with a halfords trolly jack, he reckoned it was because the jack does not have a flat base like some, regardless nearly ripped my side skirt clean off..., very dodgy.

Yeah even ET45 and 235 wont work, like I said my ET44 BBS and 235 MPSS rubbed badly (albeit on my 2010 S3 Sportback but I assume the RS3 is the same), good that the dealer are sorting you out.

That's not your issue it's the offset of your non standard wheels. Standard is ET50 Even my ET44 BBS CK 19's rubbed a bit with 235 MPSS. 225 sorted it. What's the offset of those wheels?

Me too, always run winter tyres. What most people don't realise is that you don't need snow to benefit from them. Many tests have proven that sub 7 degrees most "summer" tyres lose grip due to the compound hardening leading to greater braking distances and less grip overall. Winter tyres...
