At the end of my trackday we concluded it needs stiffer springs (front and back) and thicker oil (front). So, in a few weeks my S3 has the suspension-quality of a superbike!!
Weird, my S3 had virtually NO preload on the rear so I couldn't get any decent suspension settings. Now I have some preload I've been able to dail in the damping a lot more and it's less harsh but still not "squishy" and I'm about 125kg with gear.
