Default 2018 RS3 Upgrades

Hi All,

Looking for some upgrades for my RS3 and finding it a little annoying to find aftermarket parts for this car. Looking for ideas/ suggestions on;

1. Lowering Springs (H&R?) Any one have pics of standard H&R Springs vs. Height Adjustable Option?
2. Exhaust options? My RS3 has the Sports exhaust but its still far too quiet for my liking. Was looking at miltek bypass pipes? Any other options?
3. Who has sucessfully found a wheel option (~$3000.00) tht didnt require spacers or hubs?
4. CF Part vendors?!
5. Has any member wrapped the painted part of the roof gloss black? Pictures?


Thanks in advance everyone!

Well for some of those parts, look also for A3 and S3 - they've been around a bit longer.

I ordered them from Tag Motorsports in Cali.
Tires mounted, balanced and shipped about 3500.

  1. I’m looking at springs from iroz MSS Track Pack Fully Adjustable Spring Kits - Iroz Motorsport to fine tune wheel fitment/ride height when I acquire summer wheels. Plus they’re orange, sweet. APR also offers springs but much less drop.see underwhelming pic here https://www.goapr.com/products/springs_mqb.html
  2. Looking at super sprint https://www.ecstuning.com/b-supersprint-parts/supersprint-turbo-back-exhaust-system-resonated/776113kt3/ and a turbo blanket
  3. Not sure, I’m not too savvy with wheel fitment numbers
https://carbon-designz.com/audi/a3-s3-rs3.html has plenty of carbon fiber offerings
  1. Considering gloss black roof wrap, or carbon fiber wrap to match my oem CF side mirrors. I’m sure u can find a gloss black roof image on a A3/S3 image search. I know I’ve seen one I’m just feeling lazy atm.
I still haven’t taken delivery of my 18 rs3, so until I see it in person it’s all just daydreaming

I’m curious about rear brake upgrades and blaze/hunter orange powder coated brake calipers, I would love to see it cut through the nardo w black optics. Best of luck finding what you’re looking for.

What width/offset are the HRE wheels?

Those HRE wheels are simply stunning. They would look so good on my pending Nardo RS3 and BO. But that is some serious coin for wheels and tires. Anyone know the quality of life possibilities of living with a single kidney after selling the other?
