Default Thank you, Fed Ex!
Now I just need to schedule some time with the lift and I'll be all set!

(They're H-Sport S4 sway bars, if you didn't guess.)

Default Nice, the S4 bars weren't available when I got mine...
would be interesting to compare results - regular A4 H-Sport bars vs. S4 H-Sport bars.

Default Cool, but won't the fact that the S4 has different weight distribution
affect their performance?

Default They say the S4 front bar's the same stiffness as the A4...
I wish I had gotten the S4 set to dial in more oversteer...

Only difference is in the rear diameter. S4 is larger, which is what we want for neutral handling.

Default As Dr. Mike says, the point of going with the S4 bars is to produce an even stiffer rear, hence...
more balanced handling.

Yep, the front is the same, but the rear is (IIRC) 2.5mm thicker.

does the bigger rear sway affect ride quality compared to the a4 h-sport sways? TIA
