Our car already had the sport suspension but, so the oem sways were kept. I upgraded the rear links to the metal versions(see pic) over the orignal plastic ones which made a big improvement on turn-in. The original plastic units are a joke. I also added urethane bushings to the sway bars which made a huge improvement, especially in reducing body roll.

Or reduce lateral grip a bit starting from the rear. Swaybars are the quickest way of doing this.

Now if you want your front to have more lateral grip without touching the rears, then it's very pricey

It is all about your personal perference, driving style, the track design and the car's configuration.
When I was on the track I was running on the factory sport suspension with 16" Kuhmo track tires. Also my car had the V6 with the TIP.
At an Audi Club event in Pahrump, we had a tire manufacture rep with surface temp gauge. Coming in from a HOT lab the temps were even across the contact patch and close in all corners.

Tire pressure changes have always been a bit confusing to me, because you are also changing the effective spring rate. The table in this atricle does make a distinction for R-compound tires, perhaps this is the difference?<ul><li><a href="http://www.se-r.net/car_info/suspension_tuning.html">In error?</a></li></ul>

higher rear pressure will cause the rear brakes to lock before the front.

which results in great unpredicatable rotation and poor braking efficiency.

<a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftiretech%2Ftechpage.jsp %3Ftechid%3D58">Tirerack's pressure chart</a> shows the rear consistantly with lower pressure.

very interesting... hhmmm...I'll have to swap ends with pressures.

That was the only way I was able to settle the 4000 around VIR last April since I was literally drifting around every turn b/c of a **** poor alignment and improperly set coilovers :-P

I've never tried to run higher in the front.

has always worked for me. But there's also that line in the sand where too little pressure in the tire will also cause too much of a slip angle and cause you to get tail happy as well. It's all about the balance, and also how stiff the sidewall is on the tire!

I used to put high pressure in the rear at autox's and lower in the front to get the car to rotate a little more. Still didn't help, but it was worth a try... heh.
