8j rim shouldn’t have a 255 tyre on it I’m afraid.

If you want a square set up why not just get 2 x 8j fronts ? That way you can rotate the tyres too.

 

Surely I'd be better trying to source an 8.5j rear to match the front allowing me to run the larger tyres on the rear?

I got the car back on the 15th February confirmation my suspicions of warped brake discs. Unfortunately, I'm having to battle with Warrington Audi to fund the replacement of the discs and pads. I reported the issue within the first two weeks of owning the car and quite frankly I don't feel I should need to pay to have this fixed given I've only just bought it. I pointed this out to the dealership who point blank said no so this issue is currently in the hands of Audi UK customer services. We will see how this progresses but I may end up handing the car back. 

 

I made a trip to MRC with a friend of mines who had just recently purchased his TTS and put all necessary components on to go to stage 3. The car produced 530 HP on the day (wasn't pushed). We took turns of driving (6 hours drive each way). Getting into the RS3 after being in the TT, the RS3 felt very slow in comparison lol. See below the video of the car on the dyno.

Booked into my local dealership for next Wednesday as the replacement front and rear discs and pads have been approved for replacement by Warrington Audi. I asked if they would do a full brake fluid flush with ATE TYP 200 whilst the discs and pads were being replaced but they rejected that due to warranty and the workshop refused.  :angry:

 

Looking forward to getting this fixed and finally getting my Knockhill track evening booked. I am not particularly jelling with the car so hopefully this changes things.

Yes, I wanted them to put in ATE TYP 200 in but they refused. It's going to get done anyway, it's just a needless hassle.
