Yeah man, completely different driving experience now. This is what people are after with the RSB, etc. The frontend now has a wider dynamic camber curve with more direct steering and turn-in.

So I was thinking.. why didn't the R come like this?

Thought goes in a couple directions:

- Leave room in the lineup for the Clubsport S exclusivity, leave room for Audi, leave room for cost efficient upgrades for the mk8 model

- Keep cost lower and be more running cost friendly with less camber on customer tires.

Otherwise, gotta be honest... not sure how much more you can make this better performance-wise while retaining the Golf swiss army knife approach to daily driving.

The mk8 brings in a CPU to manage all of the driving dynamic systems at the same time, with finer levels of damper control... the rest is basically what I just did (maybe without the -2 negative front camber) + bushing changes.
