Hi Trevor Thanks for your replay. Regarding tyres, i was thinking of to get 17 inch wheels with thicker tyres. That was actually my first thoughts and if i am still not happy with results would start reconfigure suspension. Plans to keep that car for at least another 5 years, so investment would pay off. (I have that car for last 4 months). I am handy with spanners, so to do work is not a big problem. So far i did myself -replaced rear brake pads (one of pi s was seized on left side) and changed timing belt. Passed test with no problems. At the moment just asking , would regular audi a3 (non s-line) suspension would fit ? I would replace shock absorbers , planing get good gas shock absorbers. Is coil springs from sprtback (5 door) would be same ? Could get them new also. Thanks

Hi folks, i am driving audi a3 s-line , 2008, 2.0 tdi, bkd engine. Fantastic car, love it . I am using car goin to work , and occasionally driving down to country to spend my days off. I do like sline style and comfort, it has stiff suspension, assume what is designed for sline. I would like to make it softer, maybe bit higher and put thicker tyres (currently 225/40 r18), as roads where i am driving is not the best :( Would non sline coil springs on front and back , and thicker tyres 45 or 50 make car higher and softer? Thanks in advance.

Hi folks. New here. Not new with cars :) i am going to pick up my 3 door Audi A3, 2008, 2.0 diesel (138 hp) with 6 speed gearbox with s-line trim. I am giving up with current passat 2001 1.9 tdi avf engine. Know it very well, each nut and bolt, but tax and insurance companies pushing get newer cars. I am well equiped with tools and good bit of mechanical and electrical knowledge and experiance, however this is my first audi, which will serve hopefully another 5 hassle free years. Any advices what to look first and check ? Regards
