Default Front and Rear Sway Bar H Sport Install

Has anyone installed the H Sport S4 sway bars on there car before? I was wondering where the front sway is located and how to get at it. The rear is easy but i have not found anywhere on the internet a person who has done the install and posted pictures.

Default You must remove the lower belly pan.

It's pretty clear once you remove them. The front is easier than the rears.
H-Sport includes installation instructions as well.

Default Have you tried the Hotchkis website?

They have instruction manuals.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hotchkis.net/files/installation_guides/22823_22829.pdf">http://www.hotchkis.net/files/installation_guides/22823_22829.pdf</a</li></ul>

I installed them on my B6 S4. Then I took the front off.

Default Re: On my B6...

Thanks for the pic. I actually was able to see it once i put the car on ramps. It is visible through one of the belly pan vents. And you are right much easier to install then the rear. I had to undo the rear exhaust brackets to install it. What setting did you put the rear on, the first hole or the second? i could only install the bracket on the first hole.

Default Re: Front and Rear Sway Bar H Sport Install

Just as a follow up to all the posts. I have installed the front and rear bars and have taken the car for a little ride with them on and i can def. feel a difference on tight corners and turns. I highly recommend them, and make sure you get the S4 bars. They have a thicker rear bar then the A4 setup and they both fit the A4. The only question i have to anyone that knows is what hole should be used in the rear on the ends of the sway bar?

Default I put it on the stiffer hole (so the second). I couldn't get it at first but what you need to do is:

On the underside of the control arm there are two bolts that hold the thingy that the sway bar bolt goes in to. What you need to do is loosen those bolts significantly (but don't remove), then move it over to the stiffer hole, tighten that bolt, and then go back and tighten the lower CA bolts. Repaeat on the the otherside and you're good to go

Default the holes are for "looser" or "tighter" response in the front or rear

it's an adjustment.
