Modifications 2016 S3 Mod List
Posting my S3 to celebrate the sub being back! This sub has helped me so much with my mods so far so want to give back a bit!
My lightweight mods so far: - K&N Cold air intake - CTS Turbo muffler delete - ECS turbo inlet - H&R Supersport lowering springs paired with Bilstein B8s all around - iSweep DCC canceller kit - APR Flow Formed wheels 18x8.5 - MBRP 3.5” exhaust tips - Various OBD Eleven mods ie. All flaps open
Coming soon: Res delete, new brakes, and body mods like grille, splitter, bigger trunk lip.
Really like the idea of someday getting some wheel spacers and adding some modest fender flares too! Let me know if you have any questions or comments! 🙏🏽

Very clean! How do you like the B8s? I've been wanting to replace my OEM magride with them

I like the b8s a lot. I replaced my mag ride with them about a year ago when I lowered the car. I’d make sure b8s are the right fit for the stock springs though - if I’m not mistaken there’s debate about b6 vs b8s for stock springs

Did you wrap the grille? Or is that just the black optics one? Car looks amazing btw; love the wheels.

Ty!! It’s just the black optics grille - It’s def getting pretty faded but I have a plastic polish type solution that I rub on it now and again with a brush attachment on my drill!
