solution for improved handling?
I took a trip to Mt. High ski resort today in my Type S via the Angeles Crest/Mt. Emma/Ft. Tejon shortcut. To anyone who has taken this road you know its quite a drive, rising from sea level to 6000 FT - with twisties and hair pin bends that will bring a Porsche or Ferrari into its element
Was quite disappointed with the performance of the Type S primarily with the understeer. At one point I took a tight curve at a moderate speed (which I've taken many times in an Audi S4 without problems) and the car skidded into a turnout (what? I thought VSA is supposed to prevent this?)
So my point is - what are the most important aspects of this car that are adversely affecting its performance - is it the FWD? Its length or is it the narrow tires?

The best mod you can do to improve the handling is lowering springs. By lowering the center of gravity and stiffer springs, you should see a big improvements in handling. Next should be better tires, then sway bars.
You can't really compare your Type S to the S4, they are not even in the same league.
