Just finished installing 19mm Neuspeed rear sway bar on my 2000 S4 6MT with an otherwise stock suspension. I set it on stiff and was very pleased with the results and surprised by how noticable the difference was. I know this is a very general question, but do the typical coilover kits make as big an impact on how the car handles? I haven't been in many other S4s, particularly with upgraded suspensions. If so, I can hardly wait for the Vogtland C/Os that should be coming from PureMS soon.

the coilovers will have a stiffer springrate, so wheel travel will be less, suspension will feel stiffer. the swaybar should only lessen the bodyroll when cornering the car and be mostly unnoticed when traveling on a straight line, even over bumps and undulations.

... but I didn't phrase my question very well. I am wondering if the impact on the aspects of handling that coilovers improve will be as dramatic as the impact of the sway bar on body roll. Thanks...

i'd say the difference will probably be as (or more) dramatic as your swaybars. the combination of the two seems to be worth more than each individually.

Now I am really excited! Thanks...
