Default Question about sway bars.....

What is the optimum set-up on the RS4 with stock DRC system? Front and rear upgrade? Rear only? Front only? Looking to cut out a little more understeer on aggressive street driving.

That would be fictional aggressive street driving. ;-)

I thought only medical supply companies were allowed to charge these reasonable prices.

True: the MTM speculum costs even more.

Default Here's my suggestion to you... Buy the H-Sport sway bar kit for the RS4 and install only the rear...

At first and at its full stiff position. Drive it like that for a while and see if you like the results. If you are happy, problem solved.

If you think it is too tail happy for you after the rear only install go ahead and install the front. This will now help the front end turn in a lot faster and you may prefer this better over the rear only install.

Just my $0.02.

Default Vijay.. I'm in the same boat, but the only problem with doing rear only first

is that Hotchkis sells them in 2 kits:

Rear only, or Front plus rear.

They don't sell the front alone.

Of course that isn't a concern if you intend on going with the H&Rs (sold separately).

2nd. BTW, I am really liking the RS4 HSport F and R setup on the S4.
