    Nothing major but enjoying the evolution of my S3, can see the potential now....

    Been driving my wife's car a bit of late & quite frankly it's rubbish. On that note, ordered a new one which should be up to the job as the replacement family wagon - Audi SQ5 in Estoril Blue:) Not too fussed about the middle of the road reviews on it - it's very quick, very economical & I...

    4 wheel geometry set-up in Edinburgh

    Excellent - thanks. Larbert is fine, not too far at all & i'm sure they'll have scales for corner weighting set-up (judging by the site, they've had their fair share of heavily modified suspensions and seized up old control arms in there!)

    4 wheel geometry set-up in Edinburgh

    Which garage was that ? (PM if you'd prefer). I'm looking to get mine corner weighted & want to know places to avoid in Edinburgh. Suspect I may have to travel a bit further to find a place that can set up properly...

    Nothing major but enjoying the evolution of my S3, can see the potential now....

    Thanks Alex, that's the chaps name I was looking for! Yes, I know the RE050s are not great (they came with the wheels) & definitely got my eye on Supersports next (too many people loving them for them not be pretty special). That's interesting on the AEM, I'm more familiar with the Aquamist...

    Gumtree sellers beware.

    Sorry to hear that, there are some proper thoughtless/insert expletive out there. I remember spotting your wheels on Gumtree but was too late (I did send a text but you pinged one back saying they were already sold). I've since managed to pick up a set from Matt Maddison on here (& i've got...

    Nothing major but enjoying the evolution of my S3, can see the potential now....

    Thanks Alex, but already bought and paid for a new set from AwesomeGTI (for a great price). I read your post about the KW Clubsport top mounts, are there not other good quality adjustable top mount manufacturers for the 8P ? (I used to run Vorshlag top mounts on my mini with KW V3s & they were...

    Nothing major but enjoying the evolution of my S3, can see the potential now....

    Since selling off my 3rd R53 (Mini) and trying to be sensible, I tried to get by on a Mk 6 GTI (DSG) and failed. Nice enough car for a daily commute car, but definitely not a weekend car & as I don’t have a daily commute it makes it useless… (unfortunately the family mobile is also a very...

    what wheels to get ?

    Matt, I'll take them for that - need a set of summer rims will PM you. I'm in Edinburgh though, so postage on top.

    Time for a build thread....big turbo

    ^^^i've got those fitted - they are polybushed adjustable ball joints (rather than top mounts), although they can still help adjust camber.

    Time for a build thread....big turbo

    ^^^Me too. Just bought a set of V3s & looking for adjustable top-mounts, where & how much to buy a set (clubsport top mounts are a couple of hundred squid, which is most reasonable!) Interested to hear what you think if the increased spring rates + more front camber Alex. PS Please buy a...

    S3 - Suspension Mods (before & after..)

    I think the biggest difference is likely to be the ARB set up in terms of how it behaves when pushed, taking the slack out of everything/reducing wasteful momentum should just make the feel more direct. I am nervous about the ARB ratio & really hope i've not gone down the wrong route (but H&R...

    S3 - Suspension Mods (before & after..)

    Got my 2007 S3 (stage 2+) in at Autohaus just now in Edinburgh, and having a fair amount of suspension work carried out. At the moment, I've been fairly underwhelmed by the handling of the car - don't get me wrong it's a really good car, it just needs some fettling to (hopefully) make it a...

    Saw my first casualty of this years snow!!

    They are phenomenal tyres aren't they, that's the same set up i've got on my S3 and it was so composed even in the thicker stuff.

    S3 - ARB Options

    My knowledge of suspension dynamics and all the different variables = postage stamp sized... My very basic understanding of them is that they have a couple of benefits - 1. Most adjustable aftermarket drop links are polybushed and it keeps the car more level (ARB moves quicker) as it goes...
