It looks amazing. How’s the ride quality compared to stock? I really don’t want the ride to be much firmer than stock, and I heard H&R has a spring rate closer to OEM.
It won't be much firmer than stock, you'll notice a difference but it won't be much. (I normally drive in sport mode)

Wheels/tires on! I ended up just going with RT615K+, 275/35/18. I should be able to get similar mileage out of them and the canyon/track performance will beat the PS4S or ECS02. Plus they were cheaper than PS4S and equivalent to the ECS02. I'm loving the black on silver color scheme. The wheel gap is killing me now, so springs will be coming soon.

I'm pretty set on Eibach Pro-kit springs, spc rear camber arm, and EVS ball joints up front.

I'm impatient to get this thing lowered, but this 4x4 stance looks kinda cool in motion:

This RS3 was an IROZ build and dyno'd at over 1000hp. It was on a 650hp tune that day...

For track use I would be looking at cooling. Heat soak is what hinders the engines and brakes after a few hot laps. Upgrade the radiator, intercooler, t-stat, maybe add an oil cooler and a ventilated aluminum panel under the engine. For brakes I heard that pads and fluid would be really wise.

Ok that's helpful advice.

What are people using to monitor their oil temps? I wish this De5 had a LogR type screen set up like the FL5 has to have gauges up on the center screen...

Got my Eibach Pro-kit springs installed. I went with Whiteline camber ball-joints up front and SPC arms in the rear. -2.5* front, -2* rear camber. The ride quality is great. Equal to stock if not a touch better matched for the OEM damper settings. Definitely not too stiff. The added negative camber up front made a huge difference in the canyons. It really feels like the OEM+, dailyable set up that I was shooting for.

That looks great, James!

Also, the bored person in the passenger seat adds to the overall ambiance. 😅
