You and I run the same suspension... I can't believe it makes that much difference, unless you're running sticky R-compounds.

RS3, far from R compound but sticky. Glad I did go 245 on these wheels.

to the OP, how much did you lower car? what are your spring rates? have you tried changing the dampening settings?
FYI, I have +35mm offset and I am lowered 1.5" all around. I have the similar camber -3.0 Front and -2.7 Rear. You should definitely try raising the car up a bit and change it to 17x9 +35 RPF1, any particular reason you picked 17x8 +42 over the 17x9 +35? since slightly wider wheels definitely improve the mechanical grip |
I am only dropped 10mm front and rear, on 346/346 springs. Ohlins dampers were at 7F 6R. I chose 42mm because I dont like the wheel coming that far out of the fender.

235/45 odd.
