Re: At risk of starting another tyre debate

Started out with P Zeros on mine and they were awful. Lots of tramlining and poor steering feel & consistency. Changed to PS4S’s a while back (and a strut brace at the same time) which really helped with steering. Recently put SC7’s on and feels better again. Fitted 2 piece EBC discs which made surp...

Re: KW lowering springs

Ok - I’m going to order them. Did you get DRC re-gassed or suchlike to take account of lower ride height?

KW lowering springs

Long time RS owner here. Had my current B8 (had RS2 and B7 before) for 5 years and made few subtle upgrades over the years. It’s done 60k miles, had DRC refreshed last year but now thinking to swap out old springs for KW height adjustable ones. I find the ride a bit floaty so looking for modest impr...

Wanted RS4 B8 - black, silver or grey

Hello. As the title says - I'm looking for a nice RS4 B8 in grey, black or silver. Flexible on spec - I haven't driven one yet (had an RS4 B7 a few years back, before that a tuned S4, before that an RS2) and am pondering whether the dynamic steering and DRC are really upgrades, or the car is better ...

Re: RS4 anti-roll bar on S4 B6 - part no.?

Tyres are awful; unbranded jobs that the car came with. They are unfortunately pretty new so seems a bit wasteful to simply discard but I guess that's my next job.

Re: RS4 anti-roll bar on S4 B6 - part no.?

That's what I thought. I already bought all the brackets and bushes too, hopefully 4 Rings come back to me and can do it soon. Great car but it is a bit" understeery" isn't it. My RS2 was the same... Must save up for an RS4 I guess.

RS4 anti-roll bar on S4 B6 - part no.?

Hello. Just went to get my nice new RS4 ARB fitted to my S4 at the weekend and the garage told me that I had the wrong one; I had part no. 8E0 511 409 AL but they are telling me I should have ordered part no. 8E0 511 409 AJ instead. Can anybody confirm what the part no. is for the thicker RS4 ARB pl...

RS2 Seat Bolster Repair

In the spirit of sharing knowledege... I just dismantled the driver's seat of my RS2 today to find out what was causing the outside of the seat to offer little support. I thought that the right hand side bolster foam had disintegrated, but it was actually not this and very simple to fix. Just in cas...

RE: Lazy Windows

no - in the end i've just removed the doorcard, disconnected the motor and jammed the window closed. clearly not a viable long term solution... how can i test to see if the motor is faulty?
