Default STaSIS ARB is installed - initial impressions

Definitely a worthy, transparent (this is a good thing) upgrade.

The car feels more, in a word, cohesive. The front is directly in tune with the rear now. At any speed, the front end feels more connected, bites and turns in more aggresively and feels planted to the intended course, but all of it is quite subtle, what with it not giving an increase in noise or performance levels like an exhaust. The rear follows the course since the front end now pushes considerably less.

Also, the car corners much flatter as well. There is a considerable amount less roll.

What I think is the best part is how it isn't an obnoxious upgrade, like said exhaust. For the price I'd say it's the best upgrade you can do. Definitely gets my recommendation.

Default it really is excellent. A faultless upgrade.

Another note: high speed stability is improved. It was stable enough stock, but it's much better now. Dollar-for-dollar best mod available.

Default haven;t tried one on an S5, but rear sways on understeer prone cars are some of the best bang

the buck mods you can do, especially for someone who wanters flatter cornering without sacrificing driveability by lowering a car.

Is it the same as that for the S5? Can't see one for A5 on Stasis website.
