Have you just bought it mate.
Very similar yes... wheel base is different (TT is shorter)Do the S3 and TT share the same suspension settings?
Does having wheel spacers affect the geometry?
What are the correct factory suspension geometry settings for a standard height BAM engined S3?
Very similar yes... wheel base is different (TT is shorter)
Arguably yes...

All the above is largely irrelevant as you just need to know what you wish to set your geo too and work to that...

Alignment isn't difficult unless they are a bunch of incompetent idiots... you just move the suspension to the required value irrespective of computer settings... the settings are just a factory recommendation... using a Mk1 TT 225 quattro will get you close if they haven't got the S3 in the list..
You want to aim for zero toe front and rear, equal camber up front can be achieved using the small amount of adjustment in the ball joints (slotted arms) and a small amount of movement in the subframe if absolutely necessary... rear toe can be adjusted by undoing the rear arm mounts (4 bolts to the body)...
If you have lowered the car you would ideally need adjustable tie bars on the rear to help bring the camber back to a sensible setting
<tuffty/>
Fitting stiffer ARB's will add spring rate (stiffen things up) and may well affect the damping of the standard dampers...
Just remember though if you lower the car you will need to get the alignment rechecked and consider fitting adjustable tie bars are rear camber will increase and rear toe adjustment will be trickier without them
I run Bilstein B8's, H&R -25mm springs and R32 ARB's...

Feels ideal tbh for me...

It failed an MOT because of a bubble in a mirror?!?!The silver one just failed our version of the MOT for a silly reason. The anti glare monochromatic glass in the wing mirror is discoloured. Looks like there's a bubble of oil or chemical inside. The dealer wants to charge approx £ 380 for a piece of glass . Can those mirrors be rebuilt ?
Yes the equivalent of £ 380 in our local currency for the part alone without fitting from the Audi dealer .I'm confused, £380 to replace the mirror glass!?
It's a big bubbleIt failed an MOT because of a bubble in a mirror?!?!
Yes the UK is so much cheaper. In a couple of months when I'm back in the UK I will be raiding the scrappies , Audi dealers and Ebay . My luggage will be full of spare parts . I'd love to see the look on the face of the customs officer in Dubai .You can buy just the mirror glass from Audi with the heated mirror element on the back for about £24 from a dealer in the UK. Definitely worth getting one couriered out to you for that saving!!
Thank you.Not a fan of yellow cars normally but love yours - looks amazing
At the Dubai Autodrome last weekend to watch the Porsche Gt3 Cup Challenge Middle East . Imola met it's big brother.View attachment 147453 View attachment 147454
