2000 1.8T Quattro Sway Bars?
I'm looking at sway bars. I've read pros and cons to both front and rear. I want more personal opinion.
I live in CO and drive in snow/dirt/whatever a lot. I like going fast. Duh. We all drive Audi's.
I want my A4 to be able to twist, turn, and charge whatever comes at me. Smoothly. Would a front/rear sway bar kit from ECS Tuning be worth it? Or would I regret spending several hundred dollars on that? It seems that cornering the mountains passes in variable conditions with both would be reaaaaally fun and would add to the ability of the vehicle.
Give me your thoughts and experiences.

I personally have the 034Motorsports rear sway bar and subframe reinforcment bracket and it's the ****.
It's a bit spendy but it was worth it to me anyway.
Here it is:034Motorsport Adjustable Solid Rear Sway Bar Upgrade, B4/B5 Audi S2/RS2 & A4/S4/RS4 Quattro Anti-Roll Bar - 034-402-1001 - 034Motorsport | Performance Parts for Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen

The biggest bang for the buck is the OEM Sport suspension coupled with some high performance street tires. If your car already has the factory red shocks (sport suspension) then get tires. You don't need 19's for the car to handle better. In fact, the additional wheel weight will make the car feel heavy. It's all about the compound of the tires. There are several brands that make really great performance street tires. Just check the TireRacks website for High Performance Summer tires.
