Does anyone know why the stock S3 rear springs are significantly different than the Golf R? I was using them to upgrade my sportwagen and did research on the Golf R springs. I picked up a set of S3 rears for almost nothing so I went with them. The S3 springs are 1-1/2" shorter and have 1 less coil wind. They ended up working fine with the TT rear pads. I figured the R springs wouldn't have needed the pads. Are the S3 springs stiffer to be so much shorter?
