Re: Pics of your RS4 B8 with lowering springs please.
Initially the mechanic mate and I weren't keen on the bump stops being trimmed, but we were persuaded by the expert who does the alignments (he's been lowering cars and setting them up for yonks and was pretty clear that we should take a wee bit off them to allow a bit more travel/avoid bottom-ing o...

Re: Pics of your RS4 B8 with lowering springs please.
Appreciate this is a very late reply but I got the lower version of the H&Rs (29059-2 from autodoc) fitted earlier this week along with upper arms (which had been needing done for a while) and front wheel bearings (no play but annoying droning noise coming from the front, which was clearly wheel bea...

Re: DRIVEN+ RS4 (B8) Review
I too thought it was a good honest review. He didn't mention the handling, which for me was the biggest eye opener when I bought mine. I've no idea where the limits are and I'd definitely need a track day to find out. Another wake up moment was autobahn travel, - you can tell where the car was deve...

Re: DRIVEN+ RS4 (B8) Review
Certainly did. Thought it was a good review. The old B8 really is an excellent all rounder Yeah I thought the review came out well and balanced. Glad the car didn’t disappoint 😂 I’m still having issues with the exhaust valves sticking closed but nothing a screw driver can’t fix 😅 Funny you say that...

Re: DRC Delete - Koni/CRS Performance Review
Nice review and glad to hear there are some alternatives. I'm still rocking the DRC but the day may come when it'll need replaced - will bear this in mind.

Re: a few questions
Hi Chris I think some folk have access to a car check thing that allows you to see options - I don't (one of my mates did and it showed the extras and their cost at the time) but maybe someone on here might or you can find one online. I think the sports pack includes DRC too as well as the sports di...

Re: Transmission insert - cheap mod
Yeah he was OK very apologetic - it was mainly the jacking points which they hadn't prepped properly and just fired on some dinitrol over, which had already started cracking (because the surface wasn't prepared). And one other wee bit. Took it all right back and did it properly. No extra charge of c...

Re: Tyres
PS4S' get my vote too over the old pzeros which were on the car when I got it.

Re: ctek plug
Excellent idea! Not fitted one but just connected one of these to save using the crocodile clips on the noco - mine isn't getting driven much in this weather Ps also didn't realise that the nuts weren't keen on coming off- managed to buzz the positive one off but the negative wasn't for it! https://...

Re: Headlight removal
Never done it but doesn't seem tricky (OS headlight may need to come out or moving the expansion tank which is right up against it in the RS) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiR257B3R_c Just replaced my xenon bulbs on a mk5 gti and can recommend Osram night breakers (got them for £85 from GSF albeit...

Re: Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S 265/30 R20
Feel your pain - I've already had a puncture on one of my PS4S' and another on a PS4 on the Golf - seem like Michelin's attract screws. ATS Euromaster were the cheapest at the time for me but it was still around £250.

Re: Transmission insert - cheap mod
Reserving judgement for when I get the car back (picked it up last week and wasn't happy with a few things) - he's sorting them and should have it back Friday at the latest. Will let you know how it goes!

Re: Transmission insert - cheap mod
This will probably give you a better idea of what you're taking out and installing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkTY_V_wFYA The stock setup is a surprisingly heavy rectangular piece which seems to have no real purpose and the insert (which actually feels lighter) fill the voids in the stock moun...
