Anybody any idea how adjust the brake bais to stop the rear wheels of my S3 locking up briefly whilst changing down a gear under under heavy braking.

Also is the clutch on the S3 a standard item as fitted to the 2.9 Granada's and Sierra's or is it uprated? And How easy is it fit?

This sounds like a driver fault not a braking system fault! Match revs when you change down and there is no extra engine braking, hence no possibility of this problem. Heel and toe during downshifts is the best way to do this, alternatively don't brake and change down at the same time!
