To be frank, you will only be able to sopt any effect in extreme situations. For meit's perfect, but please don't expect too much...

Thanks, I think it would be useful on track, along with the APR left foot braking software upgrade.

Interesting to know,  Didn't realise the RS3 had an aftermarket controller out.

 

Years ago in the R32 days the blue sport controller was raved about.

Hi guys

I'm new to this forum just wanna say I fitted 255 Yokohama neova tyres to the front and left the back 225, and no under steer car feels awesome Neva handled better.

Welcome !

 

The reviews from those that have changed the tyres from the factory supplied ones certainly make it appear like its a must modification !

Yokohama Neovas, good choice, full on road legal track day tyre, pricey in the UK though.  How do you find them in the wet?

Best tyre I've ever driven on. Cornering is insane and I love high speed on bends. Wet weather don't drive behind me stay at least 100 m away it dispenses water like its out a hose pipe. Pricey in SA as well but worth every penny

The tyre pressure does affect it as well, too high pressure will induce understeer. If you are on track, it is better to driver with lower pressure and with ESP turn off totally or in Sports mode. I shaved off 5 sec when I drive with ESP turn off. with it turn on, the car understeers severely, esp if you get a bit advenutrous with the speed of entry into the apex.

Just get the rear ARBswapped for an 034 Motorsport one and sharpen the handling up completely
