[S3_Jacko]

Evening dudes and dudettes.....


As per title... In the not too distant future i'm selling the 8P2 to get an 8P3! However i'm still a bit indecisive as to what to do with the springs....

Can I get some side on pictures and opinions/experiences of your car is running please....?

I'm running the H&Rs on mine at present but only with 18s and need opinions with the 19s. Then decide whether or not i'm gona go Eibach or taking my springs with me..??

Thankyou in advance... Jacko!

H&R's all the way from me, every Audi i've owned has had a set and imo they have a perfect drop and a nice compliant ride due to the progressive spring rate used.
This is mine with 19" BBS's and H&R's

And my previous S3 with the same rims and springs

I've got the H&Rs on mine the now and agree about the drop... Whats your personal experiences with the 19's... A lot of rubbing!?

Nice! What Rotors did you go for in the 19's A4's or the reps?.... Think i'm going RS3 on mine

You'll ruin it with 19's man!

You know what they say, 18's for go.. 19's for show!

Do ya think so Josh?... I've got my heart set on a specific set of wheels... can always take them off if I dont like them...


Its not for the sprint, its for the new 1... Sprint is getting sold next month

 

[smurfworth]

Yeah mate, loads of people say 19's just don't handle the way 18's do. I've always thought the same as the 18's look lost in the arches at times but as it's a performance car if say stick to 18's.

Plus 19's are a much harder ride due to the smaller profile tyre.

How come your upgrading?

 

[grchmason]

Eibach are awesome and 19's are fine for me!!

19's FTW!!! I think as long as you go for decent tyres your cooking on gas!!!!!!!!!!

Just moving on to the 8P3 mate and a colour change too... was always part of the plans, just coming to that time now though...

See I do like the look of the Eibachs aswell... But the more i'm thinking, because I already have the H&Rs I might just take them with me...

 

[grchmason]

Like you said Jacko you have them mate no point losing money on them plus one less thing to worry about buying lol!

 

[S3_Jacko]

True... Just need to save up almost 2k for wheels

 

[grchmason]

What wheels you going for mate ?

 

[Kelza]

Mtms 19 with h&r springs

 

[Muzza80]

Here's mine Jack on my new wheels:

Standard suspension but B8's and Eibachs sitting here to go on.

The wheels are 8j x 19 ET44 and i get very minimal rubbing with 225/35/19's on, removing the arch lining screw sorts that though.
The red S3 had 215/35/19's on and never rubbed, but I didn't like the slight stretch on them.

You do get a slightly harsher ride on 19's but not that much to make me want to stick with 18's!

 

[KemiksiZ]

19*9.5 - 275-30-19 - BUT widebody if you accept

 

[leeds2592]

19's look to big on 3dr's if you ask me, but suit Sportbacks nicely.

 

[RedDejavu]

5dr looks nice but 3dr doesnt, 18 is better comfort and handling, each to their own but 19 are way too big and pointless unless you after looks.

 

[grchmason]

The ride is perfect on 19's really don't know what the fuss is all about! I think your all getting to old LOL!!!

 

[RedDejavu]

and they're much heavier haha!

 

[grchmason]

and they're much heavier haha!

At 6ft 3 and 18 stone the wheel weight is the least of my worries LOL!

 

[TDI140]

Get airride then you have no issues with what you run best thing ever

 

[RedDejavu]

Blimey you're massive! I come in peace and agree with whatever you say haha!

 

[Ash187]

18" RS6 on Eibach Sportlines:

19" BBS CK on Eibach Sportlines:

19" RS6-2 on Eibach Sportlines

Verdict... 19s look way better! not that hard a ride either!

 

[grchmason]

Blimey you're massive! I come in peace and agree with whatever you say haha!

I'm just big cuddly teddy bear lol!

 

[S3_Jacko]

I think 19's on 8P2s look far too big and squashed I agree.... But on the 8P3 facelift due to the higher front ends I think 18's look lost.... Especially when lowering... Would rather have a better offset wheel than use spacers...

 

[grchmason]

Amen Jacko!!!!

BBS CK's ET 44 being perfect no need for spacers and I have zero rubbing win win i think imo!

I've just bought 19" CK's and I have H&R's i'll be fitting them late next week if you want a picture

Also if you are going TTRS brakes then ET44 CK's clear without spacers.

 

[Ash187]

My 19" CKs are up for sale... It's et44 too

Yeah mate all pictures are welcome... Be good to see the car too!

Thinking on a trip to the ring next year... So if I am, then uprated brakes will be a must for me... When I 1st got the S3 i thought the brakes were awesome... Now they are not so awesome ha
