Default Stasis suspension now on... sway bars and camber arms added today

Wow, this car now rides so nicely. No roll in corners and is even more fun to drive.

Thanks Colin at Cantrell Motorsports for hooking me up.

Default Can I add sway bars and camber arms to the stock suspension?..........

and how do I add a camber arm and what does it do? Dealer is telling me not to mess with the camber as it will kill my tires, does the arm do the same thing?

Default Careful with sway upgrade AND Stasis.....

On my B5 S4, I went with MTM suspension and upgraded Neuspeed rear sway bar to the Stasis Track Sport 600F/700R. I had to go back to the stock sway bar. The rear end felt almost like a rigid axle with the Stasis and upgraded sways.

Stasis is so meticulously engineerred to work with the otherwise stock suspension/chassis. I personally think that sway bars are an option for those who want to keep the DRC system but desrire a little less roll.

Do you recommend Neuspeed front and rear sway bars?

Default Yes you can.

Camber adjustable control arms, are what they sound like. Control arms that can be used to adjust camber - unlike the OEM arms. Most if not all rely on spherical bearings and are really not meant to be used on the street. They are immediately or will over time become noisy. Their life span is probably less than 20K if not 10K.

Do not trust your dealer with things that go beyonf OEM / standard support. Yes, camber change can accelerate tire wear, but TOE is much bigger factor for that.

If you want more or less (most want more) camber than stock - you have two options. Lower the car, and automatically pick up little more camber. Or adjustable control arms. The latter is not recommended for street, but quite needed at the track.
