Maybe I'll upgrade....

So much of an increase that I'd only suggest it for the track, or those who really want a tail happy car.

I don't drive that aggrissively so I don't think I would have a tail happy car ALL the time lol...

I have a 2003 A4 3.0 Avant with sport suspension, by the way.

1. How are these different from/better than the H&amp;R sway bars, or the OEM S4 sway bars? Saying they're the same things is perfectly reasonable, if that's the case.

2. Are these basically DIY installation (bolt-on)?

3. What's the difference between the 22cm and 24cm - are both an improvement over stock, and is there any reason not to get the 24cm, which I assume would give me better handling?

I'm ready to pull the trigger on this, so I'd appreciate any advice!

1. Better because they feature bushings which are greaseable. The teflon bushings from H&amp;R are a joke and wear out. These also have 3 different stiffness levels to suit everyone. These are far more stout than the OEM S4 bar, and offers much more improvement from those.

2. Yes, installation instructions are included, and the job is definitely something someone can do at home.

3. Yes, both are huge improvements over stock. The 24cm kit can cause a rear wheel to lift if approaching a driveway at an odd angle. It certainly reduces more body roll, but for a daily driver, the standard A4 kit is plenty.

MikekiM@PureMS

On an A4, potentially overkill.

Thanks for all the info Mike. Good to know.

I don't want wheels going up in the air, but I want good roll stabilization!

MikekiM@PureMS

When comparing side by side there are distinct differences between them. Both are huge improvements over stock.
