Does it sort the gearbox which refuses to do as it's told? And the slightly wallowy ride?

It says it includes an electronic module which lowers the ride height by 25mm. No mention of stiffening though.

Yeah, when I drove one it felt like the steering wheel has connected to another car. Front-end was somewhere else.

Was the steering that noticeable aka numb?

The front-end float was more noticeable than lack of feel. Let's be honest, we drive AWD Audis, they're not top of the list for steering feedback.
