Title: S3 owner saying hello
Post by: S3simon on February 26, 2010, 11:54:26 am

Hi there thought id sign up and say hello i was directed to the forum for the ITG group buy and been having a look about. This forum has a serious amount of good info and guides that will work for the S3 aswell.

I currently drive a stage 1 S3 S-tronic lowered on H&Rs and running 19" BBS CHs plans are to go stage 2+ this year but i have a couple mk2 golf GTIs that ill be spending my money on.

Welcome along matey, car looks lovely, but I would say that! I was running 19' CH's with H&R's last year but I had to ditch them in favour of 18' speedlines as I could not get on with the ride, a little bit too crashy for my liking! How you getting on with it? What software you running with your map?  :happy2:

i find it fine but i did run an A3 on coilovers and bentleys before it so anything feels better. Currently running Giac and have the hpfp already fitted

Same here matey, I ran an A3 on coilies with 19' CH's and I found the ride to be far better than the S3! Weird  :scared:
