Mike's Panther RS6 Performance thread

[MrBadger]

Splitter looks great Mike. I wonder if its bigger than the gloss black kit. As I've said on a few posts I regret not getting carbon largely to get the boot wavy opening thing that I have used only once to make sure it worked.
The exhaust work looks really neat to me as a layman.

...sorry im late for this thread, actually just found it through your signature Mike....

...So youre telling me you have an RS3, RS4 and an C7 RS6?

Anyway, congratulations on the car! Looks stunning, i cant wait to follow this project!

[MikeFish]

LOL, sort of, the 3 is the wife's. And the 4 will be up for sale soon. It's currently in having all the stone chips removed.

Mike

Are you just using lowering springs?

Think I'd be looking for a 20mm drop?

I'm running DRC

Thanks in advance

[RS6chris!]

Sorry mate

Just re read and got my answer!!

Have you a rough cost of the springs?

H&R do 20mm and 40mm springs (for DRC cars only).
Part numbers are:
28828-1 for 20mm
28828-2 for 40mm


Site Sponsors Revolution sell them. Pretty sure if you give Glen a call or PM he will do you a deal:

Demon Tweeks do the 20mm ones for £260:

Cheapest place I can find is from ebay in Germany. Various options with lower prices but higher postage or higher price with lower postage but works out to about £240 for cheapest options.

Does whoever fits them need access/knowledge to DRC equipment etc??

No, any decent garage should be able to do it.
I had mine done at Plush Automotive as they are top blokes, know a lot about suspension and know their way around the C7 RS as they own one.

Edit, just seen you're in Teeside so I'd be going to Revolution if I was you.

Thanks Pat. I'm on holiday at the moment driving some <beep> hire car, really missing the RS.

<beep> hire car is fastest thing on the plant, great for practicing racing changes and heel/toe.

Lol, there is an element of truth to this. I am being time trialled every time I drive up the bendy hill by the kids.
I seriously think one of the shocks has gone in this thing though, it is so bouncy!!! Or maybe I am too used to the rock hard dynamic ride on the 6?

[doodlebug]

It has dampers? You must have upgraded.

Last hire car I had was a punto. A full five gears which provided varying noise and little else.

[MikeFish]

It's a Kia Sportage which is far from sporty in any way. 6 gears though!!!

[doodlebug]

Nice! Double upgrade with dampers and an additional gear.
