firmness? I have FWD (frontrak) by the way. I will be getting Lltek strut brace bar and maybe larger rear sway bar. Should I get a front tie bar as well (necessary)? anything else? Can we do that servo relay deal in the tech article (for A6) on the A4s as well.

The rear sway will make the biggest difference?

Good set of wheels and tires can make a major difference.

Why did I put a question mark at the end of that statement?

Default 17's with nice grippy 225 tires......HUGE difference.......
rear sway bar also, but I'd make sticky 17's the priority.

Default so what's the problem? That thing should handle like a dream........
rear sway will help a bit, but not that much.

Maybe you need to perform the "sell the Audi and buy a Porsche" mod. =P

i think my prob is that there's too much power steering and if there is a way (safe) to lessen it.
