Rev Match Media - Project S3

[Mrfrench]

Hello y'all.

I purchased my Brilliant Black S3 on Labor Day weekend back in 2015.



The car was bought to replace my 2008 R32. I got an insane deal I couldn't pass up. I got the car with 2600 miles for a crazy fraction of the cost of it new.

Vehicle only has Technology package, and was priced at 45k new.

So far, I have taken the car on COTA as a pace driver for a charity event, and also to the 1/4 mile strip down in San Antonio.




13.08 @ 108 completely stock.

The car was also used for a contract gig I did for Audi for Lone Star Le Mans



All the photos above have been either taken with an iPhone or have been severely reduced in size.

Mods so far:

KW V3 coils
H&R Rear sway bar
P3 Vidi Gauge
ECS "Flush kit"

Install and review videos to come very soon.

how does the v3 coils feel?

[Mrfrench]

they are pretty freaking awesome!

I actually bought a used set from a buddy of mine. The set I picked up and just got installed 2 weeks ago were from one of the many looks of the TAG Motorsports car.

I just got the rears stiffened and fronts lowered a bit. The car drives really well now after these tweaks.

The rear sway has also greatly improved the handling. I filmed the V3 and sway install, so that video will be released soon on our youtube channel.

A little Autocross session after the COTA Russian GP watch party hosted by Edge Addicts of Central Texas. No helmets required because its more leisurely.

Solid choice on the KW V3's, fantastic system for the money.

can you go lower than 2" drop over stock on the KW V3s? I've narrowed my options down to the V3s

I haven't measured, but there is tons of threads for adjustment. I am pretty low with the factory 18s, and still have room to go lower. I am so low that I already destroyed 1 plastic skid plate as of yesterday. Central Texas roads have tons of construction on em right now, and this is what sort of caused this.

I can get you fender to ground measurements once I get around to it.

I wonder why tag ditched the v3's for the pss10, right now I'm trying to decide between the 2

The TAG KW V3's that they had on their car are the ones I picked up lol. I am 3rd owner and they are amazing.

I picked up a set of 2016 Black Optics 19's for my S3. Should arrive from NJ this weekend. The 18's will go into my B5 S4 temporarily until I list and sell them.
