Default if there was no reason, they wouldn't stock 2 different parts

think about it

the disc has the same part #, for both the S4 and RS4

but they decided to SPEND their money, and make 2 NEW parts..for just 1000 cars

can you name any another frivolous RS4 drivtrain parts?

neither can I

Default Ok, but that's not a reason.. I'd like to know the technical reason why :)

or at least the exact technical differences between the two...

Default I never bothered to stop and check..I'm not gonna second guess Quattro gmbh

they get paid a lot of money to figure that stuff out for Audi AG


if they spent months at the nurburgring and decided those were the MINIMUM parts, that they felt safe selling the RS4 with...

then I'm not gonna buy, only half of the new clutch parts

Default Why was there no fix for such a hard clutch?

I would assume it got into the way of the driving right?
