They look GREAT Spin! Thanks again for the info.

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?

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...

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.

any vf engineering short shifter guys?

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...

sorry, can't help you yet mate. my issue is not totally resolved. under hard cornering, i'm still rubbing ...

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:

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...

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...

unfortunately no. i need to decide if its worth the money before i decide to meet him to see it.

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...

I need to buy one without the airbag as it can't be shipped by air with the airbag. Know where I can purchase one? All the ones on Ebay I can find come with.

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...

HI all, Would like some confirmation with regards to my steering wheel. I currently have a S3 FBSW without the multi-function buttons. I see someone on Ebay US selling these buttons...

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...

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.

Problem: Creaking sounds coming from both doors when going over humps and uneven roads Solution: Spray Gummi Pledge (from BMW) on the rubber door seals, and hey presto! Irritating sounds gone!

I take it no one has an idea then. I just purchased the black grill from a seller on Ebay. Will take pics once I get them fitted.

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?
