Haha LoL ...... Actually that's not a million miles away !

 

[Rob2k68]

OK.... LOL .... So pics to follow but I've attempted to add rear B&O speaker grille illumination. Had to improvise though with the fibre optic light guide as Audi only supply it with the complete door casing assembly so not sure how it's going to turn out.

I got the pro kit 40mm all round I believe
Got them for a bargain off amazon at £52. Description said 'used, like new (box damaged)'
Thought it was worth ago at that price and they turned up and there's nothing wrong with them
So win win situation I think

Eibach pro-kit only seems to lower 10mm??..

Rob what did you go for? Looks spot on.

 

[Rob2k68]

LoL you boys are getting impatient I can tell some hilarious comments tho nearly spat out me cider ! I did think about deliberately wiring them up wrong so that the LED was red but went with white to match the front. Well it's a bit dusky now so here goes .....

S....for Sex...ual.... Handy man in a power cut lol red would have looked yuk....keeping it real with the white mate looks class

Mine are the Eibach Sportlines - the drop was 15mm front and 20mm rear but fitting 19s also reduced the tyre to arch gap by a further 5mm due to the wheel/tyre combo being 10mm diameter larger.

How difficult is it to swap out springs on S3?.. done them before on astra but had use of an automatic spring clamp then..don't have it anymore.

Thanks both ;o)

Quite pleased with it for what it cost, mostly OEM parts from the front doors. I'll have a crack at most things Si quite inquisitive by nature I guess little lad will soon be taking the DVD player apart if he's anything like me !!!

Haha LoL do they still make that stuff ??!! - rocket fuel that is should put in a 20% mix with my Tesco Momentum ;o)

Andy I watched this before doing them

(Hopefully the link works)
Or find attached pic and third one down
Just youtubed 'how to fit lowering springs to a3 8v'
No vids for the Audi but the golfs pretty much the same chassis

The rears are correct as I found out today so hopefully the fronts will be similar to the video tomorrow
Took me less than a hour with minimal tools
