Default The opposite. The front 35mm bar is used in the 24mm kit as well...

stock is 30mm for S4 and 32mm for front A4 sport package. And only 18mm rear for A4 and 20mm rear for S4. It's a heck of a rear upgrade to 29mm.

Default I feel like your old setup (30mm front/24mm rear) would be better

Same amount of oversteer correction, decent roll reduction, and less loss of suspension corner independence. Am I wrong?

Default I would have thought so too. I honestly thought I might have not liked this...

upgrade because the car was handling pretty well, but this upgrade has been great. I am not going back. The turn in is much more crisp and the rear end seems to follow the front so much better. I was worried about independence but this has been great. Jet Jockey had the same concerns with his 1200lb sprung Motor Sport car with TorSen and LSD and he went with the 35mm/24mm HSport and has been pleased.

Default You have PSS9's also?

If so, that would be my same setup. Based on your impression, I can't help but buy that kit.

My only concern is that this car is primarily a DD, and only secondarily a track car. The PSS9's made it more track like, but it still is fine for DD, but I don't want to lose that entirely.

Default Yeah, I have the PSS9...

The swaybars only come into play during turns and man are they great. For cruising around in a straight line you won't know they are there.
