You'd need to change the ratios (if I'm understanding what you said)...not gunna happen
My GTI's steering feels light and over powered, I like the S's feel (not so boosted)...IMO.
I just wish our steering wheel was more communicative 8^ (

sumitomo htrzII's.
gonna replace em with S03's or T1S's...
can't decide. S03's have amazing grip...
but the tread pattern doens't look great...
but they do have a stiff *** sidewall too...
T1S... light... very...
not the stiffest sidewall...
great grip... close to the S03's...
loud... but i can't say i care about noise.
last fairly long considering it's a high speed
summer tire.
might go with pilot sports... but I highly doubt it.

that's not all
the Golf and TT, have a Strut front suspension
the A4,A6 and A8, have what's called a 4-link front suspension
this was primarily designed for Front drive cars, to eliminate torque steer (which it does extremely well)
a Strut Suspension (like my WRX) will have more torque-steer, but the benefit is more steering feel..which is probably what you liked, not just the weight, but the FEEL

Pilots have a seriously stiff sidewall, but...
They loose grip unexpectedly, esp. when HOT. Also the S03's are better in the wet...IMO.
I'd like to try the T1S's but I just love my S03's...don't know if I could bring my self to switch *Shrug*

so what you're saying is...
I'm SOL on this one?
what if I just let the powersteering pump fail
and not have it replaced? I want both...
a heavier feel and simply more feel of the road...
i want to know exactly what slips, how much, etc...
