S'true! and a "one-off" 23 mm Neuspeed rear bar...
Actually I think NS made 3-6 23mm bars for testing several years back and Champagne got one of them because of our One Lap of America '00 S4. Its now mine, all mine muhahaha.

How do you like the larger front bar?
Alot less roll up front? I might pick up the RS2 front sway bar and hope to see an improvement at autoX. Just wanted to see if anyone that had one can give an opinion.

What can I do to see some improvement?
I've got bilstein sports and B&G springs on the car. I guess I would need a stiffer rear bar on the back to stop understeer. But on FWD, there's a solid beam between the wheels ... would a stiffer bar really help in this case?
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks.

How do you like that big rear bar?
I was considering the 22mm NS for my car but heard that even with the rs2 front it was an unbalanced oversteer machine, making it hard to drive on the street, and near impossible to drive in the rain which isn't what i need for my daily driven audi. what says you?

As long as the car is lowered and has wheels and tires to support it its INCREDIBLE!!!
Worst is snow/ice but again if you run dedicated winter snow tires and not M+S rated tires even then its manageable. Small learning curve involved but I doubt anyone that tries it will wish they could go back any time soon.
Long as you keep your foot in it there's no over-steer. If you run narrow tires and no sport suspension and over-cook it into a corner then let off the gas or brake and do the massive weight-transfer thing it becomes very Porsche 911-ish and the rear will swing out and pass you like its on snot.
Match it with other suspension goodies then learn its limits and its about the most fun you can have with your clothes on! But it should never be an ala carte purchase. It really benefits from a "suspension package." And NEVER do it as the FIRST modification.
