Someone who was following me had shots of my car leaning all over the place in the turns, my car just had uncontrollable sway. In the car, I had no confidence whatsoever when driving. Unfortunately I never had a chance to run against other stock cars as everyone I saw was modded. I ended up being about 3 seconds behind a Mustang 5.0 with coilovers and exhaust, 4.5 sec behind a 997.2 GT3 and 4 sec behind a Camaro SS with coilovers and exhaust in a 3 miles track. To make it worse, the stupid car started to slow down later in the day for whatever reason too. I think I took some bad advice and drove a different line, I ended up losing a second on that.
I also believe the grip provided by the RS3 is really magnifying the issue too.
Oh yeah, the freaking diff was starting to act up too. I think it became an open diff in the later sessions, causing massive inner wheel spins.
No logs yet, too tired to do anything now

track use and higher grip tires, plus all the DD miles. for sure you can wear out the stock dampers in that time frame.
KW V3s when set at the correct height, trimmed down rear bump stop and remove front black bump stop (not the yellow one) and correct damper settings are super comfortable and handle great. I recommend a larger front sway bar to compliment your wide front tires though
