    oh no! Just realised 18s might not suit the car!

    I can take some more tonight when I finish work, as for the ride, its fine on normal roads but if you encounter big bumps it kind of runs out of ideas on the damping and bobs up and down a tad.

    It's not too bad, I have been in worse. You are correct though, it's not like it's mega stiff, it just runs out of idea's over big bumps!:think:

    oh no! Just realised 18s might not suit the car!

    I have a special edition so as standard it came with standard springs like yours. I have out 18" RS6 ET43 (could be 42 even??) wheels on and lowered by 50mm (eibach sportlines), I have no rubbing issues whatsoever. It also looks the dogs danglies. Stop being such a girl and go spend some...

    Which Eibachs?

    I went for the sportslines (bigger drop). I haven't had any issues with speed humps or it grounding out over big bumps yet, I can imagine that the front overhang will hit kerbs in car parks but I'm not about to go and try it out! After looking at a few s-lines I'd say it's probably 10mm...

    Bird poo stains on my S3

    Hey peeps, Sorry I haven't posted any pics, been busy running it in :rockwoot: In the end I went for RS6's, I looked at an Ibis S3 last week with 20 spokes and an A3 with new RS4's, the 20 spokes didn't suit the Ibis, and the RS4's looked daft with the little discs. I know that they...

    Can DIS be retrofitted????

    Evening all, I cocked up on my order for the car and didn't add DIS, I thought I was told it was standard on the special edition...I was proven wrong though... I have 2 questions regarding this.... 1). Can it be retro-fitted? (Big job I imagine) 2). If I was to install RNS-E (and cruie for...

    new A3 owner, well almost!

    Well I picked it up this morning. :rockwoot: It was absolutely filthy, which is good as I asked them not to touch it. The rear end and various other panels had brake dust (from the train) all over it!! After over 2 hours with a clay bar and some elbow grease it eventuallyl came off. Then on...
