Default Swaybars

I've been thinking of a rear sway. I know Neuspeed is the most common choice. I also know that Lltek and Eibach sell one that is the same brand or something(not sure exactly). UUC is coming out with one for the S4 that will probably fit the A4, but that seems a little pricey to me. To make a bunch of stuff short, basically I was going to go with the Neuspeed, but I think I remembered someone posting that Intrax is coming out with a 22mm sway that will come with a very good subframe brace. Is that correct?

Default Neuspeed 19mm bar should be good as a supplement.

Sway bars are a Band-Aid fix anyway.

If your springs are set up correctly, you shouldn't need one, but in order to get some compliance on the street, and some rotation, I guess the 19mm Neu bar is alright.

Default You can eliminate that by giving more power to the engine that powers the outside wheel Mark.

That's the beauty of a twin engine machine.



Or is your setup front to back????

Default I have 19mm. 22 will reduce the independence of the rear suspension.

And I still think that if you need to brace the subframe, it wasn't meant to have the 22 in the first place. 19, IMO, is plenty.
