rear sway set on firmest setting causes oversteer
which is better than the understeer you have now.
you really have to balance suspension/braces/sways/tires to make your car handle the way you want it to. i dont think they are as technical here in audiworld as they are on many other (GM/TOYOTA) where SCCA leading professionals setup packages including custom valved bilsteins/custom sized sways/etc to make it all work as a package.
kinda a shame.
my old z28 would out corner the audi but it had strano setup suspenion and 315's all around.
i think there's at least one auto-x'er here with that red car, he probably knows the best gig for whatever racing you are trying to do.

They dont make a big enough rear sway to cause oversteer...
You would need to grab a coilover kit from stasis or bilstein and specify a larger rear spring rate such as a 500/600 or 700/900. Aftermarket springs and street coilovers will not achieve this. Then add an aftermarked S4 sway to that and then you can start to see a bit of oversteer. cheers! mike
