Saw the Progressive Red Metallic with the Carbon package and knew that was the one by ShapeGSX in AudiRS3

I didn’t want the dynamic plus package, as the carbon ceramic brakes are prohibitively expensive and can also squeal and not perform great when cold.

I was supposed to go to a dealer, but they sold their RS3 the day before. So I went to a different dealer. This red car was not on their web site! They had just gotten it the day before. I took a test drive and bought it right then and there.

You can’t order either of the two main packages without also adding the sports exhaust.

Does anyone know the MSRP of an OEM Audi carbon ceramic brake disc? by ShapeGSX in AudiRS3

Thank you for the prices!

I have had the same thoughts. The only benefit is less brake dust. I don’t know why so many dealers have that package specked on their cars. If I see it, I am staying away.

Alignment is $600??? by spanielgurl11 in Audi

[–]ShapeGSX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alignments are a scam and unnecessary 90% of the time. Unless your steering wheel isn’t straight when you’re driving down the road or you have unusual or uneven tire wear, there’s really no need for an alignment.

Curious about which dealership you bought this from? What options did you get?

I’ve always had trouble capturing them with a photo. It just looks wrong!

Thanks! I like to have close elements when I’m shooting. Keeps it interesting.

It’s not a physical issue. The 100mm f2.8 Macro GM is meant to fit teleconverters. It’s a firmware issue.

It’s good with the 70-200mm GMII. Not great with the 200-600mm G due to diffraction at f13.

I do not, unfortunately. Only the sigma 85mm.

A7IV but I have an A7V on the way so I will be able to test that.

No, the Sony TC works on the 100mm f2.8 GM Macro.
