is a Neuspeed 22mm too stiff for a A4?

I searched on these boards and found a lot of useful info from people who actually have it...not just people who make guesses. I suggest you do the same, different parts work for different people. I eventually decided to go with the 19mm which I set to "hard" and I love it.

so do u track your car?

Yes

The 19 mm w/ the newest generation of subframe supports works so wonderfully that Neuspeed decided not to manufacture the 22mm anymore as it became overkill with the new subframe supports.

The 19mm has three settings: soft, med., and hard. The newest subframe supports are so beefy, that the 19mm's torsion leverage exceeds what most people can effectively use on the track, because a sway bar should only fine tune one's suspension and not act as a replacement for proper spring and dampening rates.

The 22mm with the early generations of subframe supports actually broke the subframe on hard settings--too much torsion for the inadequately supported subframe to handle.

After much trial and error, Neuspeed found the best balance to come from beefier supports and a 19mm bar. Basically they transfered less torsion with more control rather than transfered more torsion with less control. By focusing the torsion with the stronger subframe supports they got the same performance with less stress to the subframe.

Now, a few of the 22mm owners have upgraded to the latest generation of subframe supports. One told me the body roll has become non-existant, but I would worry a little about the extra stress. Neuspeed would not have spent the R&D money to re-engineer to a smaller bar, because the cost of materials appears negligible.

Anyway, My $0.02.

wonder if i should get it.......

thx for your info
