New Product Release Überlegenes Stabilisatoren System (ÜSS) for the B8 A4/A5 & S4/S5

[David@EuroCode]

Do the bushings need lubing up/grease or are they maintenance free?

Our bushings unlike most of the competition, have ribs on the friction surface to help retain the silicone grease which is applied. We recommend 6 months in between servicing, but that’s based on our experience here on the west coast. In areas where they are exposed to extreme weather conditions, more frequent servicing might be required.

Our B8 S4 in a 12 month period did not make any noise nor did we service the bushings. This is not to say that you should go out and do this.

Phil switched from H&R sways/stock end links over to the USS setup and saw a tangible improvement. If anyone here have switched from Hotchkis sways to the USS setup, can you please report back? I love my AK and can imagine the Eurocode goods being superior to my current setup. Any positive review would get me in on the GB.

Confirmed for group buy.

David - can u just give us a brief overview of the type of maintenance recommended every 6 mos or so. I've never had sways before but am definitely interested in these.

+1. Also, how many hours of labor would I be looking at to get these installed? Are they doable on ramps or does the suspension have to be unloaded?

The entire install is about 2-3 hours front and rear, the bushing maintenance is about 30 min every 6 months. The bars do not have to come off to lubricate the bushings, just the brackets which hold the bushings. If you have our drop links front and rear which allow full rotation, you should be able to lubricate the bushings on ramps although I have never tried to do this.

I love my AK and can imagine the Eurocode goods being superior to my current setup. Any positive review would get me in on the GB.

I guarantee an improvement over the Hotchkis bars. I'm going to make you a great offer, purchase the ÜSS system and if you don't see an improvement send the bars back (we will even pay for return shipping), and you will get all your money back. I'm only doing this because I know the outcome, and we need someone like yourself to be able to come here and note the improvement they experienced.

When we set out to develop the ÜSS system, we wanted to offer a product which would be superior to anything currently on the market. We took the H&R, Hotchkis, Stasis and Eibach bars, along with 3 of our prototypes to the track. After testing all those products (including our own) extensively, we finalized our bars and came up with a combination that basically leaves the competition in the dust. Being that our company owns a B8 S4 this made it real easy for us to spend all the time needed to fine tune these bars. Most aftermarket companies rarely own the vehicle or spend the amount of time we did on these bars. They simply find a test car (random person), take measurement off their bars, or even purchase OEM bars, increase the tension by a static value and release the product. The B8 chassis, being unique, requires an upgraded front and rear sway bars, as where the previous B5/6/7 cars only needed an upgrade for the rear bar . The bars along with a combination of specific tension contained within the EuroCode ÜSS bars allow the vehicle to feel more neutral and rotate with ease. This concept of specific tension took us over 18 months to figure out and release a system which proved itself at the Eurotuner GP. Our B8 S4 was able to hold its own against a 700+ wheel horsepower, purpose built race car, by 0.008 seconds and left the "super lap winning" supercharged E46 M3 & super charged E92 M3 (520WHP) to eat its dust. Pick up a copy of the 2012 Eurotuner Magazine for more info.


Not a single of these companies provide replacement OEM bolts with their bars. The factory repair manual calls for the bolts securing your sway bar to be replaced. They do so because the stretch bolts are to be used only one time. If other aftermarket companies had as much interest in the B8 chassis as we do, they might have picked up on that very significant detail. All of the EuroCode ÜSS sway bar kits ship out with all new factory replacement bolts. It cost us approximately $40 to include these bolts, naturally this cuts into our profits, but we do so because adding these bolts enhances the end user experience. Also this point should help reinforce the fact that Eurocode has a true understanding of this vital part.

a lot of soon to be happy customers

[crossover]

Alright damn it... arm twisted - I'm in!

The benefits from the Alu Kruze were so impressive I'll expect nothing short of greatness with these

[NunyaBiz]

Waiting on gb pricing to sway my decision. Tis tax season ya know...

[compguy]

I'm the kind of guy who won't sacrifice suspension noise, either squeaking, creaking, knocking or whatever (you get the point) for added performance. Is this system, assuming properly maintained, any noisier than a completely stock setup?

[keiran]

Interested, also want to see a price.

This was asked but I suppose I am looking for confirmation from Eurocode. I have ADS on my 2010. I do track days (road course) a few times a year. I find, now, my limiting factor(s) are brakes and tires. I'm planning on a brace of Stoptech brakes for the front. I realize that the sway bars have nothing to do with the electronic suspension pieces but will these EuroCode pieces compliment the handling of my ADS ("Dynamic" mode) in the same way it would without? Will I (still) notice an improvement with these pieces in cornering with the car in "Dynamic" mode? I have no interest in changing shocks so hopefully this isn't needed. And will EurCode supply setup suggestions for both street and track? Thanks.

We have installed this kit on several B8 S4/S5's as well as an A5 all equipped with the ADS system. The improvment over the ADS system is no different than that of a vehicle with standard shocks.

I am (very regrettably) going to have to remove my name from the confirmed list. I just found out today that my job has an expiration date on it. Going to have to forgo any unnecessary expenditures for a while to build up my savings while I finish my MBA and look for a new position. Luckily I've got some time (2014 at the earliest) but with this economy nothing is certain.

[David@EuroCode]

helix139 - Sorry to hear that, but as I always say everything happens for a reason. There is always light at the end of the tunnel bro.

David,

As per pm, I'm almost in ;-) and thanks for the reviews. I will confirm as I'm goign for the Alu also. I was convinced before that of a great product but reading even more about it gave an extra boost.

Keep the great products coming our way,

Norm_S4

[Cooper993]

Ok, you have my attention. One thing the reviews didn't mention is changes in ride quality. Many times sways will make the ride firmer or even harsh. Does this occur with the complete setup?
