Can you tell us more about the wheels / tires? Most people here do not install 255s.
Also what wheels do you use? Signature series sound impressive, but also nebulous. Can you tell us little more what is included in them?

What's in a name? It's about the results that the packages produce...
There is a lower level Touring kit which features a host of good solid upgrades geared towards making the car the way it should be from the factory. Firmer and lower ride, more power using the GIAC software, a longer lasting and better performing rotor in terms of heat removal and weight and forged Volk wheels. The details are available on the website.
The upper level Challenge Kit takes this one step further with a complete 4 piston brake upgrade for maximum use of the larger wheel/tire combo and suspension to get the most out of the available grip for braking.
Each kit has an optional LSD, though the Challenge Kit may include the LSD since it is extremely useful for those that want to get the full potential power out of the GIAC software.
The exhaust may be changing from what I am being told and there may be subtle changes to the ultimate and final kits released by the participating dealerships. This program is in it's infancy, we have a few cars already out in the field with portions of the kits that were available at the time carrying factory warranties, so far no issues.
Cheers,

I think if mods do become available for the S3 they will be few and far between and you'll be able
to do much more tweaking to the 2.0T and it can be turned into a monster; a wolf in sheep's clothing. there is also your preference of # of doors. a 4-door 2.0T or 2-door S3

Re: At the moment we are building a larger network for the full release on the program...
In the Greater DC area, I tried every single dealer w/in 75 miles of the Capital, and only Francis Scott Key (FSK Audi) in Frederick, MD seemed like the real deal. Everyone else played games, broke promises, baited and switched, and generally wasted my time. I would buy there again, and would recommend that others do so as well.
Now, do you have any toys in the werx for the 3.2Q?

Wheels.
Alex... I really want to run 265s on my A4 and 255s on teh A3 if and when I get it. Is this truly possible without crazy camber settings? Can you guys just sell me the wheels? What offset and width do you recommend?
