S3 (8P) daily and track day car

Ive always fitted uprated droplinks out of habit and the whiteline ones were cheap compared to what I've bought for previous cars/projects so why not
 
Vagbremtechnic brakes turned up at the weekend (4 pot TTRS brembos from Aston Martin) and 340mm discs and DS2500 ferodo pads

While I dropped off the brakes at the garage got a few pics of the suspension fitted so far

Looking forwards to picking up the S3 with all the suspension bits on and the uprated brakes, all in time for a track session at the end of the month

Some very nice additions there - love it! You might find that setting the rear ARB to the harder setting, rather than the current soft, should improve the way the car turns-in in tight corners.

S3 has now had a full geometry setup at a place I've used in the past that also setup race cars

Height adjusted via the coilovers so its not too low, the ARBs are set to hard at the rear and soft at the front and the dampers are set to 8 at the rear and 4 at the front with 1 being soft and 10 hard

All ready for the track session tomorrow

Pics of where the damper adjustments are on the Bilstein B16 PSS10 coilovers - bit awkward to get to

Do 235's fit on this car without rubbing issues? I track once or twice a year and Drag Race every month. I have 19x8 45 mm wheels with 225/35 r19, wanna install 235/35 r19.
