Well, they FEEL great dude And the € abuse turned out to be justified It turns out that the little stuff (i.e. rear ball joints, front control arm bushes, 20mm front ARB, etc) added up to about 3-4 hours more than expected. The mechanics were actually nice enough to stay after closing and...

Checked the H&R site and got: 29438-1 Audi A3 Quattro (8L) incl. S3 color red, lowering [mm] 25, year: from: 03.1999 So the part number is correct?? I've PM'ed David R to see what he thinks Thx again

Something just doesn't look right The driver's side rear spring seems "Wrong" somehow Here's the passenger side (Looks OK to my untrained eye) The 3 center coils are together, with a slight gap on top and bottom. Now here's the Driver's side.... It looks a bit "off", so I took a...

The weather's been crap dude But that's OK, I have 112kms in the morning to see what I think

Apparently, the front ARB was a PITA to fit. The drivers side front brake rotor retaining screw was sheared, so the had to replace it, etc. etc. But it's alright I guess. We went in and the mechanic showed me all that they did, and (Unfortunately) it was all required work The short drive home...

WTF!!??? The Frau just got the bill and it's €800 And that's mostly LABOR??? We went to this guy cause they said they only charged €40 / Hour and yet the Bill comes out to be 2X what Audi wanted Any ideas??

Well, one day gone, one more day to wait

"Catching up" Dude, please.... All I did was get the suspension sorted, still no Samco's. Intake, Downpipe, Cats and transmission are all std.... should I go on?? (Me..Jealous??? Noooo )

Sure will Dropped her off last night so that Dude can start working this morning. He's also putting in some Poly Bushes in the front control arms, tossing in a 20mm front ARB (1mm increase) and while he's at it, changing the steering rack bush for the Powerflex one that Rich hooked me up with...

OK, cool. Thx I'm going in tonight (Got about US$1300 worth of suspension bits in the boot ) So I'll ask him to get the rears to S3 spec and the fronts as close as possible. Sound about right?

Nope, just the rears, but I was hoping he could get it close Just not sure if I should even ask him to try and get it to S3 spec

Got it Thanks

Hmm, where's Glen when you need him?

What's the difference between the S3 and the TQ alignment settings? I'm getting Bilstein B8's, H&R Sport Springs and Forge rear control arms fitted to the TQ on Thursday and was wondering if things might handle better if I have the alignment set to as close to S3 spec as possible. Any ideas? Thx

Audi engineers their cars to Understeer for safety reasons (See the MK 1 TT for the results of a neutral setup ) So your problem is not necessarily tire related I run 245/45/17 GSD3's in the Spring/Summer and they hold better than my old Conti SC2's, but as always, if you push them hard...

Try ECS. And since you're Stateside, shipping won't be too bad. Look HERE

You really didn't like the Dogbone set Dunk?? I found it a bit annoying at first, but it settled in and now I love it The engine doesn't move around as much, so it feels "crisper" somehow Anyway, just my 2 cents

Haven't fitted them myself, but I've heard that sometimes the rears don't look like they've dropped as much as the front. So if you see that, it's supposedly normal Enjoy Dude

Thanks for the update Garthy
