RE: Garages- trusting them with our pride and joy
I stand in the engine bay whilst the MOT is being done, if they want to go for a road test it is with me in the passenger seat, otherwise they dont get paid.

Dampers and springs my experience.
If you mean the RS4 GMBH set up, I am "reliably informed" this set up is very hard indeed, harder than H&R coilovers. Stock RS4 is softer than both, but after much playing around, one of the comfiest options is to fit H&R coilovers, BUT set the ride height low, this is the key point: - with a lower ...

Wheel Spacers
I am trying to clear a set of Movit brake calipers (on a B5 S4) without rubbing the tyre on the wheel arch - so I am looking for 5mm (or less) wheel spacer with the correct tapered lip that fits the standard 17" wheel and hub - not a MTM version with a lip. Anyone with any thoughts on how I can achi...

Have AMD been working on customer relations?
I just want to comment positivly on the way AMD have seemed to improve their attention to us customers. And - If AMD make sure that the comunication with the technicians is open and clear they will be onto a massive winning formula. With the Audi main dealers it is IMHO a complete frustration and a ...

Re: Tyres & steering - Tram lining at speed???
Hi all, Thanks for the thoughts, I have done some more research. I have come to the conclusion its the So3's or the Toe settings. I have just had the alignment done at AMD along with new front arms and bushes. This is what I have found in the last months. 1 - H&R's removed the standard S4 tramlining...

Tyres & steering - Tram lining at speed???
Hi all, I would really like to know if any of you are suffering, with nervious steering and bad tram lining at speed??? I have So3's all round.
