Default Just installed Neuspeed 19mm bar.....

THIS is the way the S4 should have come. I havn't pushed it really hard, but in regular day/day type driving around town, it totally eliminates the annoying body roll (I have it set on stiff). No more wishing the seats held me in place better, because they do now Most excellent, money well spent imo. Now it's just rockin'.. no more rollin'

How hard was it to install the bar? DIY?

Default yes, woulda been WAY easier with a lift.. but if you have ...

a little mechanical aptitude, it's fairly simple. The most challenging part is tightening the top bolt on the sub frame reinforcement bracket.... but it's do able. Good time to wax the rear rims as well, since removing them makes install of the bar easier. 5 stars on this one.. imo.


Cheers,

Default could you please elaborate?

I am thinking about putting my 22 mm this weekend. Was the installation easy? (what time frame) Is this instantaneously noticible?
When you say no body roll, does this mean the car doesn't lean on corners? I thought due to the stock suspension set up, there will always be body roll?

Default sure...

I answered the installation question below, so you can read that (you probably already have).

Yes, it is a dynamic change to the cars handling, so you notice it right away. As I stated in my other post, I havn't done any hard runs yet (maybe this afternoon) but in "day/day" driving, turning on city streets, turn merges, etc... the body roll is negligible. Previously, whenever I was taking a hard right, I had to hook my elbow on the side of the seat to stop my body from sliding to the left, partly because of momentum, but mostly because of roll. Now, that doesn't happen.. tracks nicely. One mod down.. two to go.

Cool! This will probably be my second mod. Good to hear it's relatively inexpensive
