Default Don't know what's available for the A6, but ...

a much stiffer rear sway bar would help to get rid of some of the heavy understeer that would otherwise result form a staggered setup.

Default Lots of folks do upgrade that already:-)

Sounds like he's using for show purposes only, and regular wheels the rest of the time.

Default Captain Understeer to the Rescue!!!!!!! It will look awesome, but with 60/40 weight...

... distribution, you will ensure understeer (or I should say, more understeer).

Default Show car set up, not going to be driving around on em on a daily basis.

I'll sell em to an A8 guy when I get bored with them.
