A3 1.8 T lowering and 18" alloys

[chodecz]

Hi guys,

I'm going to be buying a 1999 A3 1.8 T very soon and am planning on some mods.

I wanna fit some S3 bits,, bumpers, xenon lights, but most of all I wanna put 18" alloys and lowering it a bit.

What do you guys suggest for the suspension? Eibach springs(?) alone, or shocks aswell (makes/models?)??

Here's a pic of what I would like it to look like:

I'd very much appreciate any advice/suggestions people can offer.

P.S. Does anyone know of an extensive A3 photo gallery? Photos of stylishly tuned A3s etc.

you will have problems making it look like that since the bodywork is different. I would start by looking on flea bay, can get 18's with tyres for less than £500.

Yeah I recently noticed the S3 has flared wheel arches I wish they did that on the 1.8 T!

Besides that I don't think there's any difference. I can just bolt on front & rear S3 bumpers, and side skirts. Will it look odd????

£500 for 18"s with tyres would be great!! Any suggestions?

Just type in RS6 alloys on ebay there are hundreds.
