I was wondering if anyone who is Autocrossing their RS4 could tell me how they have set up their car with regards to tires, rim size, suspension setup (including toe in, camber, shock settings, spring stiffness, rear sway bar size) and anything else you found useful.

My 2007 RS4 has Stasis/Ohlins suspension and I am trying to improve turn in and rotation as it tends to understeer a fair bit. I would like to be able to generate some power oversteer like you can in a Subaru STI.

Thanks

All the usual things to make it tail happy:
Stiffer rear sway bar
Stiffer rear springs
Stiffer rear shock settings
Softer front shock settings

Have you tried cranking up the compression damping on the rear? That's certainly the cheap thing to try. I'd talk to Stasis too, see what they have to say.

Thanks for the responses. I softend the front compression which helped rotating the car. It also turns out that the front tires were quite worn and moving the rear tires to the front gave me better turn in. The worn tires on the rear helped with tail out attiude on acceration although I am sure not the best traaction. I have ordered new Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 275/30R19 which will help normalize the handling.

I checked the alignment and it turns out you can adjust the rear camber but not the front. I have about -1 degree camber on the fronts and was hoping to increase that to 2 or 3 degrees for better turn in traction.

Has anyone installed an after market camber adjustment kit? Does anyone have experience with the "Stern adjustable upper control Arm" sold through Hotchkis?

I was also wondering if anyone with the Stasis suspension has experience with the 28 mm rear sway bar they sell?

The mechanic measured my rear sway bar and came up with 20 mm. Does anyone know the correct size of the stock sway bar?

Thanks for your input.
