Highly endorse H-Sport antisway bars....
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/46293/a6stockantiswaybarsintrash.jpg"></center><p>
Did the rear only for a day to see if it would be more drastic than the '00 2.7T with Pro Kit I did with PSK bar last week. Rear only, not to impressed. Got the front on today and did a high speed twisty downhill run to check the weight transition of the car when being tossed under extreme circumstances. These bars rock! No mistake, it is still a 4,000 lb sedan, but it is much more precise and so easy to balance in transitions. Yes, it does handle better than my ex-S8 and the 3 S6s I drove with the suspension complete, IMHO. The reason why I think the bars are truly great is that the rear alone is marginal, but the massive front bar holds the nose heavy C5 like there is a bunch of neg camber on board. Figure it is keeping tire rollover to a minimum by not letting any transition camber changes to occur keeping the slip angle super taunt. The only regret is not purchasing better tires the P6000s. That's what I get for going for accuracy in trying to copy OEM S6 design to closely. May just scrap the Pirellis for some S03s. It is that fun. Just $.02.

Anyone do this with an '03?
What was your setup PRIOR to putting on the swaybars? Sounds like a 2000 with psk rear sway bar? Any other psk parts like springs/shocks?
I'm thinking of getting this for my 2003 2.7t but i already have entire psk kit so I don't know how much improvement it would have... Anyone use this with an '03?

Do it. Got a used '00 2.7T Tip & an off the floor new '02 4.2 non-sport for my S8
trade. The aluminum suspension changes developed on the S6 really add a lot to the late model C5 releases. Even novice drivers who drive the two cars comment on how much lighter and tossable the 4.2 is (before the bars, but with Bilsteins under Eibachs). The bars complete the package. Best money you will spend on the car other than chip and exhaust, IMHO.

Earlier someone stated with sway bar tires have less cornering grip ... true? If so, why is that ???
