Hey all, I've been struggling to find an answer to this online anywhere. I know the R has slightly lower and stiffer springs (or at least that's what i read), but does anyone know by how much? I'm wondering how handling would be affected by the R springs on the GTI. If What I'm thinking is correct, it'll introduce more understeer, but be a lot firmer. With the addition of a thicker rear anti-sway bar, I'm guessing the car would become more balanced but still have enough stiffness in the rear springs to get on power earlier.
Next year I plan to get RSE10s in 18x8.5 with a 255/35 tire, so I want a bit more camber in the front, as well as more stiffness. I'm looking at different spring options since I have DCC and it should partially compensate for added stiffness, but I might eventually go the coilover route. I've looked at the KW DDC and waiting to see what Bilstein comes up with for factory integration.
Has anyone weighed similar options and actually tried any of the above? particularly the R springs on the GTI.
