the intrax 27mm in front and 21mm in rear for sway bars?

Default We don't need front swaybars on the S4.
keep the nuespeed and determine if it feels right for you.

Default Well, if Eugene STFA, I wouldn't need to say that the front swaybar built into the firewall is quite
adequite, and more front stiffening would only encourage understeer. The stiffer springs in the rear also encourage a more neutral balance, and the 19mm rear sway may be too much - but he should judge it for himself.

I think you're confusing the front sway bar with the front strut brace.

so you think 580/660 is a good "balance" as spring rate difference?

Default I think it's in the right range, but you'll have to try it and find out
the other thing is making sure you have the correct valving on the shocks...and I have no idea how to guide you there.
