Golf 7 R vs Audi S3 suspension geometry
Discussion
I’m currently in the market for a quick daily runabout and narrowed it down to the Golf 7 R and the Audi S3.
After test driving both I have to say that the Golf R feels more fun and "chuckable" to drive but the Audi looks miles better inside. I am leaning towards the S3.
Since the two cars are based on the same platform, I wonder if the S3 simply has a more conservative/safe suspension geometry that could be adjusted to match the values of the Golf R?
Of course if the damping-, steering rack- and haldexcalibration is vastly different — and i suspect it is to varying degrees — then no amount of suspension geometry is going to make a S3 handle like a Golf R but it would still be an interesting exercise.
Does anybody have access to the factory suspension geometry setting sheet of a Golf Mk 7 R vs the Audi S3 8V? cheers.
