Default now that I have a stiff suspension and a sway bar set to "stiff" I only have one problem -

any time I'm cornering hard, I can only push it so much because I'm getting ready to fall out of my seat at a certain point (currently around 55 mph on an exit ramp, not sure about the radius but it's pretty standard).. I wish the "sports package" included more supportive seats in 2001 A4s. I haven't gotten the tires to break loose yet, wish I had one of those Escort timers to measure the actual cornering force.

Default I don't, I slow down before the turn and then accelerate

50 mph is pretty comfortable, I've pushed it up to 55 mph - but by then I'm holding on to the wheel so I don't fall out the door. The tires are silent, I suspect I have a good bit of traction left still.
