Sway bars
I came from a 2013 a5 cabrio to a 2013 a7 non sports package with 19 inch wheels. The a5 had h and r sport springs and. Front and rear sway bars. The ride was to hard and too low. The A7 is like a boat and has to much body roll. I'm looking to tighten it up a bit going through turns like on exit and entrance ramps but not make it to hard. Don't want to spend on coil overs. Has anyone done away bars on a7. I have not been able to find any for sale. If you did, which ones did you use and were you happy? Thanks

I have the eurocode sway bars and I love them! I ended up only keeping the rear eurocode sway bar on the car and removed the front eurocode sway bar and used OEM in the front because I was feeling that the front and rear eurocode sway bar together was too aggressive for me after driving with them for a few weeks. Right now the car feels balanced with the front OEM and rear eurocode sway bars. It does eliminate a lot of body roll on turns and rapid lane changes. Other people used both so you can experiment.

I was feeling the front eurocode sway to be a little stiff for me on the 20 inch wheel OEM wheels and sports suspension with some increase in road feedback/vibration in the steering wheel on the highway attributed to the thicker sway bar and polyurethane bushings that are required to be used with the sway bar. I didn't like the vibration feedback I was getting the most so I switched back to the OEM sway bar and bushings in the front and the car felt great. The rear sway bar is what I feel to be more helpful in keeping the car flatter in the corner compared to the OEM rear sway bar. The ride is smooth and planted. Since you have the non-sport set up and 19 inch wheels, I think the front and rear eurocode sway bars will be of most benefit without any compromise.
