Sway bar question
I'm debating on getting a swaybar or two and need some input. Right now my setup is a 98.0 2.8Q with H&R coil-overs adjusted to about a 1.5 finger gap F&R and I still have a bit of body roll that I would like to eliminate. The problem is that the roads where I live are not the best. They are very bumpy and curvy. I fear the added stiffness of the sway bar may cause some wheel hop around the corners. Should I get F&R swaybars, just Rear, or none at all? Any input is appreciated.

Start with just a neuspeed rear sway bar set on "soft". It won't be too much harsher.......
And will make a nice reduction in body roll. You can also experiment with the "medium" and "stiff" settings, quick and easy to change the setting. But they will certainly be a bit more harsh and skittish.
Did your car come with the sport package? If so, you already have a front sway bar that is as stiff as any of the aftermarkets.
If your car came with the non-sport package, you could upgrade the front sway bar if the rear alone isn't enough. But I don't think you'll need it. Start with the rear first.

I never have been able to find out if I have the sport package...
I have the 3 spoke steering wheel with the AUDI sport emblem and 16" alloys, but some people have said that does not neccessarily mean I have the sport package. Do you know?

OK after research I found the Neuspeed sway rear sway bar on SPP but...
I'm not sure if they are adjustable. It doesn't say.
and what does "Includes subframe reinforcement brackets" entail. What are they?

It absolutely IS adjustable. The brackets reinforce the subframe......
A stiffer rear sway bar puts more stress on the rear subframe. The brackets reinforce the subframe so that it's not a problem.
As for the adjustability, the bar has multiple mounting holes, pick the holes you want for the stiffness you want.
