    S3 Front ARB Bushes, expensive to replace?

    Anyone got an idea of what H&R arb's front and rear plus replacement bushes all round might set me back incl. fitting? May just bite the bullet but getting the car inspected next Thursday to see what potentially needs being done.

    S3 Front ARB Bushes, expensive to replace?

    It's definitely not a wind up. If you phoned up a so called Audi specialist and got told something completely different, and more expensive, than the dealer would you not be a tad confused?

    S3 Front ARB Bushes, expensive to replace?

    I'm personally unsure as to whether the whole ARB needs replacing, I kind of thought it was just the plastic casing/bush or whatever it is where it's actually attached? Either way I've been told on one hand that I'll need a 4 wheel alignment being done afterwards, whilst my local Audi dealer...

    S3 Front ARB Bushes, expensive to replace?

    As the title says, I need to replace my front ARB bushes as they're cracked and making an annoying creaking noise, but are they particularly expensive to fix? I've searched around on the net, phoned people up etc and so far I'm getting differing opinion so hence the post. I'm aware that if I...

    S3 210/225, do they really remap to the same power?

    Guys thanks very much for your help. Pretty much what I thought and good to hear. Won't be picking the S3 up until after the weekend now which is a pain but can't wait to get it, have it remapped and enjoy driving it. I am still thinking about what I could do to it to get above say...

    S3 210/225, do they really remap to the same power?

    Ah, that's interesting then. Does the exhaust on yours include a replacement downpipe and 'sports' cat or is it just a 'cat-back' system. Reason I ask is the car I've put a deposit on actually has a replacement stainless exhaust but I didn't work out if it had the downpipe done as well...

    S3 210/225, do they really remap to the same power?

    Only reason I ask is after trawling through the search option and the many posts it comes up with I'm not really any nearer to knowing. Most seem to suggest they do yet most quoted figures by the usual remapping suspects are different for each car. I've put a deposit down on a 210 car but if...

    Soon to be new S3 owner, yet another question about more power...

    I've read good things about Jabba but I live just north of Brighton so it's be a bit of a drive. TC garage in Copthorne near Gatwick are Revo dealers who can remap it, alternatively F1 Brighton can do a custom code remap. I take it they're both fairly similar or would one be noticeably...

    Soon to be new S3 owner, yet another question about more power...

    Hi, Great forum this and this is my first post, been reading for the last few days on what to do with the car I'm due to be picking up at the weekend. I'm changing my S6 for a 2001 210 S3 and I'd like to modify it a little. As I said I've read lots of threads on this already but I'd like...
