Default 13 S8 just got APR Stage 1, Few questions..

Well the car is an absolute monster as expected with 700 hp. 1 question I had is anyway to combat the front wheels almost lifting off the ground during wot acceleration? Even if the car is in dynamic mode sometimes it hits the top end of the front struts due to so much lift, like its gonna pop a wheelie!

Its 646-692 91octane 93octane 100 octane , I have a 2015 with the tune and don't worry about your struts just enjoy the car.

The only way to avoid that is to not have 700hp or completely replace the Suspension to a custom spec’d coilover.lol enjoy it!

I notice quite a lot of front end lift on my stock 2014 S8 during launch. I cant imagine what 700 HP would do!
