    On very gentle acceleration it will not happen. It's only when slightly nipping on a bit that it will start. No where near spinning the wheals though. sounds like it is coming from the centre or maybe near side. The drop link on the near side has gone but it is definitely not coming from...

    My A3 8L Progress

    That's a nice job you have made of your car! What is the difference in comfort between the standard, 40mm lowering and coilovers? Thinking of just going with some 40mm springs.
