Default more suspension stuff

i've been reading through the archives on eibachs and such. couple of questions that didn't seem to get answered

1) front sway bar - whats the verdict? no one seemed to report what it changed, as most folks just had the rear done. anyone get the front bar replaced?

2) Clair Audi (in boston) quoted $800 for spring/install/alignment. this seems REALLY high. any thoughts on how to get it done cheaper in boston? i tried to do it through Auto Design Haus, but their customer service is so poor it defies analogy. it certainly doesn't strike me as a place to drop off a $45K car for suspension work.

Sadly, that's the "dealer price" - same at Ira

Default I think the front bars are the same of both PSK/non-PSK

The rear seem like the only difference.

the install probably breaks down like:

Springs - $300
Install - $400
Alignment - $100

Default I thought Clair didn't do installations???

Did you confirm that Clair would install the springs and do an alignment?

I heard the same. Some guys measured with micrometer and posted results a while back.

Re: I measured / weighed the psk and non-psk front sway bars - they are identical!
