    RS4 22mm Rear Anti Roll Bar Fitted!!

    re : ramps I bought the blue Halfords ones, the ****** things just leapt away when I tried to reverse on to them. I tried to hammer nails into the drive to try to keep them stationary. In the end I used my trolley jack and jacked them on. Also I found the tyres were over both sides .... Once...

    Goodyear F1 GSD3 experience

    I have found F1 very good till they wear down to less than 3mm. Also I found the the wear pattern strange, on both the inside and outside edges of the front nearside. When cold, <5degrees they seem not to work very well, eg slipping on full lock, when pulling away, say out of a car park space...

    Goodyear F1 GSD3 experience

    whilst browsing on ebay I came across a set of a4 sportline 17" alloys complete with pirelli rosso tyres with decent tread left, the chap had upgraded to a set of 19" A8 style wheels, so now I'll be using the pirelli rosso. I'll report on what they're like when I use hem for a few miles.

    A6 Steering Clunk When Turning

    Goodyear F1 GSD3 experience

    I've got my own tyre pressure gauge, one from Halfords thats came top in one of the autoexpress reviews. So its supposed to be accurate, but I haven't compared it to a calibrated gauge ... hard cornering you say ? that could be it then The wear is much more pronounced on the front passenger...

    Which suspension set-up is better?

    did a bit more reading, SE has a 16mm rear arb, sport 18mm and S4 22mm. IYO would a 18 or 22mm be of benefit ?

    Which suspension set-up is better?

    [ QUOTE ] Perhaps when some of these people write their cars off due to snap unloading of the overly large rear ARB...miss-matched roll stiffnesses...or ill judged damping rates, we will hear people taking advice. From one who has lost a great car due to an overly large rear ARB, missmatched...

    A6 Steering Clunk When Turning

    I get the same with my A4 TDI ------- on GY F1 GSD3, 205/55 ZR16. The in and out side have worn a lot more than I anticipated and I get the clunking on full lock too, sounds like the tyre is rubbing against the tyre well. I find the car looses traction under the slightest provocation. I have...

    Goodyear F1 GSD3 experience

    Hi, I've had a set of GY F1 GSD3 on my 2002 A4 Avant TDI 130 for the last 15000 miles and they're begining to get close to the TWI. The wear is especially noticeable on the in and out side edges of the tyres. I run the front 4 psi more than book value and the rear 1 more, as I find it gives...
