rear swaybar
Which rear swaybar brand is best upgrade for 01 2.7T? What would be approximate cost for parts and labor? Are aftermarket brands better that one from dealer? Thanks for your input.

Here you go
P/N 4B0-511-409-F = bar
Bushings for sway bar #4BO-511-327 - 2 required
Parts from clair.com = about $110 shipped.
Labor - no more than $50
this is the sport package rear bar, and is universally praised

Sway vs. Springs
Recently, I spoke w/ my Audi service manager and he suggested upgrading the springs vs. just doing the sway bar. Not sure if this was a sales driven suggestion or true performance recommendation. Obviously, the sway bar cost $200 and the springs, etc. cost over a grand. Any insight?

Just settled the Vibe, hesitant to upset things...
For <$200, the sway is very inticing. I really dislike the rocking back and forth around curves. But not sure I want to drop $1,000+ into the car right now. Did you do the sway first, then the springs/shocks?

no - that is just for parts. (m)
Here is my set up:
Springs - 280
shocks - 480
Install - 520
Total - around 1300
It only makes sesne to do the shocks when you do the springs as the labor is about 90% the same.
Coil overs are up to about $1400+ , but the install is much less
