Default New RS4 Sway Bar Kit From Hotchkis Sport Susp.

Part Number 22832 sold as a set, also 22832R sold as a rear only.

Lightweight, durable 35MM (1 3/8") tubular steel front sway bar. 60% stiffer than stock.

Lightweight and durable 29MM (1 1/8") tubular steel rear sway bar. Adjustable from +235%, to +305% increase in stiffness over stock RS4.

Greasable polyurethane bushings and brackets w 90 degree zerk fittings.

Gloss black powder coat finish.

Dramatically improves cornering potential due to increased front/rear roll stiffness

Offers definite track and autocross advantage over stock sway bar package

Adjustable rear bar allows suspension to be finely tuned

Car has increased slip angle allowing power to be applied earlier during corner exit

Durable and reliable due to extensive track testing

Designed and manufactured by Hotchkis Sport Suspension specifically for the new Audi B7 RS4 and B7/B6 S4. The autocross and track event ready Sway Bar package features a massive 29mm tubular, 2 position adjustable rear bar and our standard sport front sway bar for owners looking for a distinct track and autocross handling advantage. Polyurethane bushings and bushing brackets are also included along with 90-degree zerk fittings for easy lubrication. The RS4, tremendous fun in stock form, just got even more exciting with the addition of Hotchkis Sport Sway Bars.
Due to the aggressive tuning of this package, it is designed primarily for track use and performance street driving.

Default Great. So it looks like the front bar is the same size as on the S4 kit (35mm) and if I want to...

Upgrade my rear S4 bar I can just order the RS4's rear bar.

Bloody Hell my car is going to oversteer just by looking at it. :-)

Default I have em and I LOVE THEM!!

IIRC, the bars are hollow...but don't quote me.

Bottom line: with coilovers, corner weighting H-Sport bars and a performance alignment, understeer is greatly reduced and the car is scary sticky!!

The sway bars will not affect ride quality at all.
