Default Opinion please, front and rear sways or just the rear for track use?

Thinking of reinstalling the OEM sway bar in the front and keeping the rear H&R.

Anyone running a lowered car with only a rear sway bar? will this improve track handling?

Default Not sure about the KW's I know the STaSIS SL setup was

designed for the OEM bars and performs better with the stock bars, at least that is what they told me when I asked about adding the H&R for the rear...

I know the spring rates on the KW are much softer on the rear than the STaSIS setup.

If the car is pushing now the rear only would help balance the car better.

Not sure about RS4's, but C5 A6's/S6's definitely benefit from a rear bar only.

Default With KWs you will need major sways in the rear, and maybe run no sway in front.

OK, do run OEM sway in front. KW spring rates are horrible.
