swaybar
who makes swaybar for the rs4? i've found HOTCHKIS, but would like to know of other possible brands / options. how about strut bars, anyone make them?
does a thicker bar always means better? i know it affects stiffness/bodyroll but i assume that's what we all want?
are there downsides to getting a thick bar or should i get something in between
i'd like to hear from anyone that has tried different sizes.
thanks and happy turkey!

Forget the front bar
A bigger front bar means MORE understeer. Just add a bigger rear bar. I have the Hotchkis setup and like it.
Be SURE to add Loctite when you mount up the rear bar or you WILL be sorry! TRUST ME!!!!

Yes and no.....
The hotchkis set-up increases front stiffness by 65% and rear stiffness by 235-305%, so while both are made stiffer, the rear is stiffened to a greater degree.

Go with the H-Sport kit (HOTCHKIS) and be done with it. Set the rear to full stiff. Also about...
The strut bar, there is one in there already. It is hard to see but if you look inside the fire wall the one closest to the engine you can see a flat bat tying the two struts together.
