Default 50 degrees in Chi-town today...perfect for trying out the new RS6 sway bar...

After much consideration and comments around the board, I decided to replace my PSK (18mm) with the RS6 (20mm) bar and the front PSK (30mm) vs stock (28.5mm) Some have thought there was no front PSK bar, but there is one as stated above. As for the performance of my particular set-up...NO SNAP OVERSTEER! My car handles much better in turns. I can really feel the rear end coming around with much less push.

S - congrats - the sway bar is one quick mod that REALLY transforms the A6 handling. Enjoy!

Default They are Hartmann reps, I don't know the weight, but they are heavy. The mirrors...

are OEM brushed aluminum. I got mine from the dealer. Many have found great deals on ebay.de, I wasn't that lucky.

Default Yea, and 4-8" of snow predicted for tonight. Can't try out new WRX drop links with my summer tires

yet. Gotta leave the snows on for the weekend I guess. never fails.

I had researched the stock vs PSK fronts some years ago when i had my A6. IIRC, while the PSK is larger, it is also hollow while the stock is solid. I figured there was little benefit so just did the PSK rear. Still had understeer so I suspect the 20mm RS6 is just about perfect.
