• RS Torque Splitter: the APR 25mm rear sway bar is made around the 8Y's torque splitting rear drive unit, so choose it over S3 rear bars.

• DNWA or DAZA: the 8Y's DNWA shares most hard parts with the 8V facelift's DAZA, and the Supertech valve locks and stem seals titled DAZA suit the DNWA too. For anything else titled DAZA only, check the listing before ordering.

Installation by a professional is recommended for suspension, brake, drivetrain and engine parts. Get a wheel alignment after any suspension change, and bleed and bed in the brakes after brake work. Intake, fuel and downpipe upgrades need a tune to suit.

For off-road or motorsport use. Check your state's noise and emissions rules before fitting to a registered car.

What engine does the RS3 8Y use?
The 8Y uses the DNWA version of the 2.5 TFSI turbocharged five-cylinder, a close relative of the DAZA in the 8V facelift, with a 7-speed S tronic and quattro. That is why many pistons, rods, bearings and head studs are titled DAZA/DNWA.
