Was thinking of going with H-Sports or the Neuspeed but leaning towards H-Sports.

Any Pros or Cons of either other than teh cost of the H-Sports? They transformed my Allroad and I feel the S4 could benfit from them. (Especially at HPDE at VIR in the Fall

StartUp Racing/Penske w/ stock sway bars. the Stasis SS could definitely benefit from sways.

Default I have the Stasis Streetsports and the H Sport sway bar set...

The ride is great. The eagerness to turn in is dramatically improved. After a while you forget (I was on stock sway bars for about 2 years) and you become used to the ability to turn. The H Sport does make me feel like the car is lighter because it's not such a chore to turn in and change direction (you still know it's heavy when accelerating and braking).

I recommend it, but have not owner other sway bars on this car.

Default If your roads are half decent, go for a setup that allos for changing spring rates- ->

IMHO, you will be better off tuning with spring rates. Adding even a light bar inthe rear defeats the independant nature of the rear suspension..

The Domestic method of tuning, because of our horrible roads is light spring and damper rates and taking up the slack with heavy bars to control chassis lean.

The euro method, and the better choice IMHO, is more aggressive spring rate and rebound/compression settings and leaving the bars off.

Like everything else we do with these things, it's a compromise either way.

That said, I have TrackSports with 600/700lb springs, Intrax rear bar and A4 hollow front bar.

Default H-Sports and STaSIS SS's is a great combo if you like to maintain a [more] comfortable ride with...

a tighter feel and less body roll.

how many DE's are you planning to do? the SS's are not the best choice, imo. too softly sprung.

I'd look into Champion Motorsport. Are those custom only?
