i hate to beat a dead horse, however i couldnt find a straight forward answer in the archs... i would like to swap out the oem sways for the popular choice of h-sport rs4 sways. my concern is with the warnings on the site saying theyre too stiff and only for track use etc. for those that have them here on their daily drivers what do you think? any regrets? too stiff? do the endlinks that come with it hold up?

Unfortunately I put them both on at the same time so it is tough for me to say what is making what difference. The ride is stiff and my wife hates it but I really use the car only when I am in the mood for it so the stiffness is not a problem for me. However, I think for a daily driver it would not be ideal especially over any distance.
Lots of people only do the rear sway bar but as I say I did front and rear at the same time as adding coilovers so it is tough to comment sensibly. Also, I lowered mine to 25" from wheel center vertically to the bodywork. Stasis recommends 25.5" and I will change to that soon. Not sure what changes that will mean.
Change you will immediately notice is that you really feel the back end has a will of its own. Coming from a high speed straight hard onto the brakes prepping for a turn you feel the back end get light. A bit scary the first time but once you get used to it it makes the car much more drivable on a track. Lots of people talked about throttle lift being an issue but I have to be honest that I have found this to be a minor issue.

I can get on 3 wheels and I don't really like that. All I do to prevent that is approach the the steep entrance differently.
For everyday driving however, they are fine.

BTW, I am sure this would be an issue for the S4 bars as well, just less so.

i appreciate it... seems theres mixed reviews... i think i may just go with the s4 ones, that might be more than enough at this time.
