    S3 Pics - CH 18" & AP Racing BBK.

    Am I right then that you need +45 offset (minimum) rims to run this brake kit minus the spacers Spin? Or are your spacers purely for aesthetic purposes?

    Heads Up ! Tuning parts & S3 Brakes

    Hey Spin, Are AP's already having the 6 potters for the S3? If so, could you please let me know what kind of region I should be looking at? If its not convenient, would appreciate if you could PM me. If I'm not mistaken, you would probably need spacers for the TTRS rather than the AP 6pots...

    Fitted BBS CK's to my S3

    Great pics DeckedS3!! I think if you run on 225/35/19, you shouldn't get any rubbing as some of the forummers here would attest to. I was previously on 235/35/19 and they rub on load. I really really like the BBS CK's. Can't justify paying loads of money to change rims though.

    Forge Quick/Short Shift

    Just to revive an old thread. Hope to get some comments. - for all you guys who have changed to a short shift, did you change for both the lateral and the horizontal throw? I've been told that changing for the horizontal throw isn't a problem, but when changing the lateral throw, sometimes...

    You guys get really spoilt by tyre prices in the UK. Here in Singapore, a Michelin PS2 costs ~ 800 pounds for a set of 4! I'm really jealous!!!:sign_unfair:

    Alloys Question!! 19" on S3!

    Just back from the mechanic getting my KW v3's adjusted. Steering now feels really great and the car handles beautifully, but is a little too firm for my liking. With load, the rear wheels are STILL RUBBING!!! Found the culprit. It's not the screw that Mitch was pointing out but rather the...

    Alloys Question!! 19" on S3!

    Where is the screw in the rear wheel well? I thought the screw is only in the front wheel well? I just got my KW v3's installed and I'm getting rubbing on the rears in some instances. I'm running 235/35/19 tyres on Oettinger RXX 19X8.5 +50 offset, and I'm getting rubbing on the rears with...

    Brake Calipers

    Hi all, I have been given the option to buy 2nd hand Alcons for my S3. However, the brake kit is 1year +. The owner has just recently changed to new brake pads and new rotors. We all know that the greater wear and tear occurs on the rotors and pads. What would the common problems on older...

    ARB: H&R vs. Eibach

    Would like to check if any of you gents have had only the rear ARB's fitted? I know someone who had the KW front and rear ARB's fitted, but through experimentation, found that only the rear ARB's were truly necessary. In the end, he removed the front ARB's and found handling and ride comfort to...

    Suspension Mods - Advice Appreciated

    Boydie, do you know what he didn't like about it? The ****** stock suspension feels way too floaty for comfort. The KWv3's worked like a charm on my previous MkV GTI (perfect balance of comfort, ride height and handling) and I'm so tempted to go down this route again. But everyone is telling me...

    Forge Recirc - is it really needed?

    the mechanic that I go to here in Singapore, has told me not to waste money on the aftermarket DV. He reckons its better to get the uprated OEM DV if and when the current one goes kaput. his 2 cents.

    A few questions on S3 8P2

    Thanks for the welcome Staz! Khufu, the GTI is a FWD. Figures below are from the KW website. For the GTI, f: 1105kg r: 1000kg For the S3, f: 1130kg r: 1085kg Correct me if I'm wrong, but not much difference in the weights right? So technically, it's a non-issue as well?
