Where'd you find them, blitzen? I've been keeping an eye out for a cost effective brake upgrade for my Po and s3 brakes were top of the list but I haven't managed to find any as yet.
Got them off a mate who has Alcons on his S3.
Got my coilovers delivered today... Now just need to get my car back and the use of my right arm before I can fit them!!
Nice work Hazard.
How does it drive? What setting is the RSB on?
Sorry Ben, only just saw this lol
drives brilliantly. took it through the spur last week and wow!!
its on the hardest setting. its not too rough so im pretty happy with that setting, almost feels like 4 wheel steer at some stages lol

Finally found a set of 17" rims that clear the APR 323mm brake kit and aren't made of granite (a la the Audi TT rims I've been using) - OZ Ultraleggera 17x8.
Front looks like it has quite a wide track, dosen't really look like you can go much lower ?
The car has height adjustable Bilstein PSS9 coil overs, which are set up so that a 215/40-17 tyre on an 8" rim only just clears the inside of the guards. Don't have any rubbing issues, even with track / motorkhana driving, but I certainly wouldn't want to drop it any lower.
The rears in the photo above have 205/40-17 tyres which I test fitted first, hence why the front track looks a bit wider than the rear in that photo.
Playing around, checking spark gaps, blah blah blah...
I was having some odd movement from the suspension so decided to check the droplinks and lube the front sway bushes. Original links were shot. Put the Mondeo ones in, so much better. Car was becoming a little crashy, bumpy, noisy. I'm amazed how big of an impact the dodgy links were mmaking.
Nice, I was looking at getting a set of ultraleggeras a while back, tire rack had some great prices and still sub-$1000 including shipping.
Yep, picked up the same set mid-last year when the rate was decent - The best wheels ever! It was between ultraleggeras or superleggeras, only had the UL in stock

I can vouch for this, I had a set replaced under warranty and the car felt so much nicer after they were in much less noise
