Stock suspension done at 20k

20k to 25k certainly isn't early for a car that sees substantial aggressive use. That sounds like a normal life span for a damper if you ask me given the circumstances. Normal street drivers will see 50k to 75k life spans for their suspension, but for us it's really not uncommon at all to see them worn down early like that. And you hit the nail on the head with the RS3 tires amplifying the issue. It's simple, add a ton more grip and subject the suspension to extremely intense suspension forces for extended periods of time and you'll have a shorter suspension life span. Same thing goes for tires. I rip through tires on every sports car I have owned in anywhere from 8k to 15k with mixed HPDE, street and autocross use. Time for you to rebuild or replace your dampers man.
