Default PSA - A4 LLTek Stress Bar.....

Not my favorite one, but you don't see them too often, so if you're looking for one take a look...<ul><li><a href="http://www.audifans.com/marketplace/show.php?table=pm_audifans_Parts&amp;id=7448">Not my advertisement......</a></li></ul>

Default Maybe a dumb question, but how do they mount?

This style just uses one of the upper mount bolts from each side.

Default Thats true and an A6 style bar coupled with bigger rear sway bar has made major handling change

My new rear 18mm bar from Whiteline is only 2mm bigger but is about 60% stiffer than the stock sport bar. Along with 225 width tires, the front upper bar and rear urethane bushings it has made a vast improvement in cornering turn in. My next move is to get Powerflex front sway bushings for the front OE sport bar.

Default The PureMotorsports bar (no longer offered) is good....the A6 bar works well also

Some people like these....I personally think it's more looks than anything else...

Default A6 tower mounts with cross bar cut to the A4 length and mounting bolt holes repositioned.

Many folks don't use the center bolt that ties the bar to the plenum wall ... mistake IMO as the bar will just flex if the center isn't tied in properly. Drilling the plenum wall is a pita as there isn't much room but well worth the effort in my mind ...

The two tower mounts bolt up with two of the tower bolts. The bar stock cross piece is a bit ~3/8th thick IIRC and ~1" wide. When mounted, the cross piece lays against the plenum wall ... pretty stiff arrangement all in all.

I have the part numbers somewhere ... if you are interested shoot me an email and I'll dig 'em out.
