I have recently bought a 2011 8P S3, and joined this forum. Like others, I find the low speed ride a bit harsh. It has 18" rims with new 225/40 series tyres. Would switching to 17" + 225/45 tyres make a significant difference?
I'd really like to switch to Koni FSDs, but Koni don't list them for the 8P/S3. The 2100-4016s fit the A3 quattro with normal ride height only. The 2150-4001-2 is recommended for A3s if the suspension is dropped by 1". Would these fit the 8P S3? Another possibility I've seen is 2100-4090. Any experience out there? Advice? Does anyone else make a quality hydraulic shock for the 8P S3?
I should say in the ride/handling compromise, I'm willing to sacrifice the latter (a bit) for the former.
