Hello all,

Apologies for the quetions that I am sure have been answered 1,000,000,000 times over, but withe the running around for holiday season, and the fact that my car gets delivered tomorrow, I really don't have any time to dedicate to the SEARCH function, hopefully, you'll take some pity on this new Audi owner and provide some quick insight: With taht said....

1. I presume the S4 comes standard with sway bars. Are they decent, or should I be looking to upgrade them? Fist thing I did with my 330i was beef up to the UUC swaybarbarians and the car hugged all turns. What is the stock mm size? What is the recomended size?

2. Fog lights. Are the stock any good? What brand are most of you using to get closer to a bright/xeon effect?

3. Tires (yes - I am sure this has been fought over a ton of times). I live in NYC and the primary reason I bought a new car was the need for AWD. I have two basic questions on this:

A. Winter tires vs. all seasons? If I went with all seasons - then I would get these and use them year round. Any experiences on how this affects the ride? Does NYC require dedicated snow tires? My car is mostly a weekend car - as I commute via mass transit to work.

B. Wil there be any rubbing problems if I keep the stock rims and just swap the tires for winter season to either all weather or snow tires? As i presume the profiles will be higher on these than the summer stock performance tires? Do I have to worry about fender rolling?

Thanks,

Chris

1. It does come with sway bars but from what I've heard upgrading helps alot. Hsports seem to be what people are getting.

2. I think they are fine but someone else may have suggestions.

3. I live in the snow also, but alot more of it. I have all seasons- P Zero Nero MS that are working pretty good. I had a dedicated snow tire last year on my A4 and it was alot better. The all season will do the job but snows work alot better. I plan on buying 19'' for summer and wanted to get some use out of the tires that are on there before I spend money on snow tires. I've used the exact same size as what was on the car so I havent had any rubbing issues.
