Default you need solid bars, and if you're going to spend the money, then get the Hsports. or, find

some who upgraded to Hsports that has their sport package bars namely the rear or only the rear. The stock sports won't be a huge improvement, but it will help reduce what you're feeling.

offset to 35mm is perfect, imo. I run 8mm spacers to get to that with my OEM wheels. others are already 35. any more and you'll rub up front...more than just the fender liner(s).

I would also lower the front suspension down to 25 3/8 for foward rake instead of an *** dragger...i hate when dogs do that.

your car won't get twitchy until you run higher spring rates, stiff rear bar, extreme/max performance tires and crazy alignment specs.... like mine 2 hands on the wheel is often needed. eyes up. look where you want to go.

Default I have stock sport rear bar he could have for next to nothing, you really think it would help him

much..?! I never liked how it felt w/ stock sport front. I guess he would notice more of a difference w/ his non-sport front bar. (kind of similar to me using stock sport front and neuspeed rear)

freakness.. let me know if you are interested in the rear sport bar (as it has sat collecting dust for over a year now). Depending on how much shipping would be, it has the potential to be a very cheap solution to your problem(s).

Default My previous post aside, you made the right decision. I went from non-sport suspension to H-sports

and it was a HUGE difference. Most definitely the best buck spent on my last A4 (well APR chip is up there...). Current car already had sport package, so I opted to just do neuspeed rear. Honestly, it feels almost identical, a great balance, and more than stiff enough for me to safely traverse the twisty roads around my parts.

Either way glad you went with the H-sports! You will not be disappointed.
