Yep
I just put it over the springs and started measuring! I clamped it using all the stock clamps while it's on the ramp to get the locations correct.
Please not I would not drive it like this as the axle could rotate! It will need steelwork adding but this is how I worked out the best location.
Note the shocks are removed at present for access.

So how much lower did you estimate it would be?

my s3 brakes feel like they are going to throw me out the windscreen god no's what there going to do
also with the dpf do you need it mapping out or do you need new software? Also what BHP gain do you get from it?
Looking good by the way.

Martin it would need mapping out to stop the ECU feeding fuel into the exhaust for re-gen
If we get an RR day off the ground take mine for a spin but im sure the graph & figures is going to talk for itself

Your best bet is to speak to Martin at Pendle Performance

You need to swap your brake crossover pipes, from top to bottom. Looking very sweet..

Yep the caliper is on upside down, if the pistons are of different sizes they need to be the correct way round.

You eagle eyed people
It was only mocked up to see how the wheel sat & to check clearances etc.
I also couldnt wait to take a picture to get uploaded
The old caliper is still attached if you look as the rubber brake hose is still connected

My old D3...Ive found a fellow D3 owner in Splitpin now
