I have Little Reds on my RS2. Porsche 993 damping shim part numbers are/were: 965.351.096.00 (44mm Front x4); 964.351.096.01 (36mm Front x4); 996.352.086.01 (28mm Rear x4); 996.352.086.00 (30mm Rear x4). I bought these as complete sets a few years ago from Type 911 (their part numbers are/were 8523 (Front) and 8522 (Rear) for the complete sets). Other Porsche parts suppliers are available, etc.

Started todays labour in the garage by mounting the noise insulation/air guide under the engine. It was not that hard work, many screws that holds it in place though. Tomorrow it is time for Swedish MOT, so i took the car out for a trip to bed in the brakes and check the car a little. First notice on the road is that the boost comes earlier than before (The cam timing was off and i had a wery bad idle last year). So now it feels like i found 100hp more. Otherwise all felt good, brakes nice, no vibrations. Only thing that is disturbing is my crappy built exhaust that some person before me built. It sounds way to much inside the car. Well, i will have to live with that some time until i build my own exhaust.
I will get back with the MOT result tomorrow, last time i failed due to high emissions (i think it was the cam timing/bad idle that made it not pass, according to Maxxecu wide band lambda it was running way to rich before i fixed the timing).
Undertray fitted (Special for RS2):

Happy day! Car is through MOT "Besiktning". Now i have almost 15 months before i have to come back for inspection
Spotted a small coolant leak today, i will look in to it during the weekend. Now i will enjoy this victory for tonight and grab a beer.
Exhaust system is way to loud inside, but maybe i have a quick fix for that coming!

Congratulations! Beautiful photos, it appears your crops are a month ahead of us. Rapeseed, one of humanity's oldest crops, apparently there are different types and the name for rapeseed comes from the Latin word rapum meaning turnip. Turnip, rutabaga, cabbage, Brussels sprouts (my favourite!), and mustard are related to rapeseed, who knew? We grow that here also (and another related one: canola), for the oil and for cattle feed:

BTW, are the 8 screws, which may be holding the blue bumper cover to the under-tray (or are they to attach a spoiler?), original parts of the stock arrangement? They look like a good idea.
Cheers!

The 8x screws are factory on the RS2, but those are not from Audi. The clips is fitted on the cover, see the attached picture to see what i mean.

Good evening. Today was a fun day as my (hopfully) solution on my crappy exhaust arrived. Sure i could built my own with some effort, but that would be time consuming and at the moment i wan't to drive and have fun with the car. So what do you do? Searched the net for a complete exhaust and found that Super Sprint made complete exhaust systems for S2/RS2 Avant. Called the Swedish supplier and he told me that the system (Race pack, without Catalyst) was in stock at the factory in Italy. So i made an "investment" again.. Think this will be my birthday present to myself this year
The exhaust on the car was poorly made from both stainless and regular steel. The sound/resonance was terrible at most speeds/gears so i couldn't stand it at all. Sure i want it to sound but not in the coupé. I can live with some but not like with the system on the car.
Packed up the stuff (very well packed), looked at it for like 30 min and then i started to dissasemble the old crap. Mounting the new Super Sprint exhaust was no problem and the fitting is spot on. In the future/for next MOT i think i will dissasemble the exhaust and weld on a catalyst. Or maybe just shift back to the crappy exhaust. Last night i also ordered some new exhaust hangers from Audi TRS, but it works as it is now. Well here is some pictures of todays work, really happy. Now i will wait for some sunny days and go out on the road to test the new exhaust.

Test drive of the new exhaust today! It's not quiet, think its almost louder than the old but with no disturbing resonance at cruising speed (Louder outside of the car). So i'm very happy with the exhaust system.
Recieved some new exhaust rubbers from Audi today, so first i mounted them.
Then testdrive in the evening sun. As the car now is more quiet in the coupe i hear my wheel bearings (that needs to be changed), but i will live with that this summer.
Here is a little video, i knew that the motorcycle would smoke me, but i couldn't resist to give him a little battle Enjoy!
