18 months ago i drove a friends Audi S5 MTM with full fast road kit on, supercharged FSI 4.2 V8 525HP

8 pot front brakes, springs, dampers, wheels, full Geo setup basically a 30k aftermarket kit

It made my Tuscan feel very unsettled nervous and slow though the turns


I have since changed all the bushes, camber, castor, rack height, steering arms, dampers, springs, bells, rotors, ride heights, tyres, clutch, and added a little more power


drove the Audi twice this week and to my amazement, the Tuscan is now a has a more planted feel


If you are driving a Tuscan that feels crap, I can tell you 2 things


1 they can be made into great cars


2 it ain't easy
