I looked into BC coilovers before for the RS3. There isn't a specific kit for the car. The place I spoke to were going to make up a set of custom springs to suit the shocks. It was basically an S3 sportback setup they were going to sell me. I spoke to Dave Henderson and he advised strongly against doing this and to get a set of Bilsteins. I am unaware of anyone ever fitting the BC's to our cars but my mate has them on his S3 and rates them highly. If nobody has done it before then there is probably a reason for it. Get something that is tried and tested and you won't go far wrong. If it is adjustability that you are looking for then I would go for B16's. I have the B14's and can't praise them highly enough. They are probably in the ballpark of BC price.


If you are ever down my neck of the woods you are more than welcome to have a shot in my car to see what you think.

I've only ever heard average reviews of BC in the past. I tend to hear 'Cheap & Cheery' when people discuss them. I went for Bilstein B14's and find them fantastic.

I have the Xenonz 8v style grill with Quattro badge. I rather like it. Much meaner than the alu grill
