Hi picking up my Silver RHD RS2 on Saturday .
Couple of questions . Are the dampers likely to need changing at 120k?Car felt wallowy/soft on test drive but I have only driven 1 so have no baseline .

Any suggsetions for the cheapest insurance ?

Got 245/45 Kuhmo's on so an checking with Kuhmo if these are ok

Will likely go to MRC for upgrading / checking out - anyone any experience of likely extra costs over and above the ecu upgrade ?

Check the posts here re things to look for. MRC will do a health check and advise.
Change the dampers OEM are fine or koni. Bilsteins need a mod using S4 rear dampers. Details in the forum somewhere.
CHANGE THE TYRES ASAP OEM 245 dunlops were very narrow c/w modern 245 on 7'' wheel. You run the risk of the inner fouling the suspension. Not good at speed. Most here use 225/45/17 P zero nero extra load are popular. Again check the forum posts.
Usual list includes all fluids and filters (inc fuel) DV N75 sparks. But Doug will keep you right at MRC.
Enjoy
