034Motorsport
07-22-2015, 12:14 PM
We have a few customers in the B6/B7 Audi S4 Section looking to start a Group buy on our 034Motorsport B6/B7 Audi A4/S4/RS4 Rear Sway Bar Upgrade, Spherical Rear End Links, and Spherical Front End Links: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/659077-034-motorsport-sway-bar-group-buy
I wanted to see if there was any interest from the B7 Audi A4 community as well so that we can get something organized. [:)]
Please post up if you've been eyeing any of these upgrades!
Cheers,
Laszlo

Good to see some stock ones holding up well! We've seen quite a few break over the years, though. [wrench]

If you want the RS4 bar, wait for this Group Buy to end. Used ones always pop up cheap once people replace them with our bar. [;)]

My intention is to decrease/eliminate the understeer. Moreover push it slightly towards oversteer. I have a lead on rs4 RSB locally, but want to see the pricing here before I decide. Fast....

Well I would like all three- depends on the pricing at the moment, if they altogether are more than I can swing I could settle for just the rsb and rear end links, but I really want the front links now too so I can knock it all out at once, so give us a good price![:D]

That's about right. The group buys typical discount the price by $25. It's about the same during last year's Black Friday sale. They could really make it enticing by including free shipping. [:D]

It allows you to make your rear stiffer by adjusting the mounting location of the sway bar. It also allows you to tune each side independently so you can have your car be stiffer in one direction and softer in the other. (racing benefit) They are also just stronger and higher quality then oem.

So, correct me if i'm wrong, but this seems to be for the upper echelon. Most people would be fine using the stock sway end links?

The stronger part is somewhat important - I broke my stock end links once already which is why I'll be upgrading to the 034 ones to match the bar

Yes you can use your stock ones, and they will work for the lower tension location. But if you want the higher tension location then you would consider the upgraded links. Most peoples end links fail eventually using the stiffer bar.

ride doesn't change at all really -- when i first installed I had some squeaks when entering driveways but that dissipated quickly. Other than that the only time I notice a change in ride quality is when you hit a pothole or bump with one rear tire; it seems to resonate more through the cabin than it used to but that might be mental.
Body roll is greatly reduced. Now if only I could reduce my nose dive under braking.....

car is definitely still drive-able...i drove almost two hours home on mine when they were broken...and yeah it was impressive body roll... turns at >7 or 8mph felt dangerous...
Felt like an LS460 with original suspension and 750,000 miles on it
In other words, if they broke - I would be comfortable driving the car to work and back for a week or so while I waited for replacements...but I wouldn't be happy about the whole thing, and definitely wouldn't drive aggressively.
No updates on the price?
RS4 RSB I found locally is already sold and I feel stupid for waiting.

Not 100% positive but I have 102,000 miles on the car as of today... I think this happened in the end of April / early May so roughly ~95,000 miles on the car...maybe ~5,000 miles with the bar installed.

I probably wouldn't risk it but two things might be at play:
1. I live in Boston and this winter was brutal...the roads are awful so everything in my suspension / geometry took an awful beating this spring when the snow finally melted
2. The installer (me) might be a retard as two days after the install I had one of the bolts back itself out...so then I over torqued everything down to ensure that didn't happen again...

I think I might just take the risk like an idiot since I cant really get both atm unless the price is right.

why? you don't need to remove suspension to replace the sway bar. it's easily done especially if you drop the back end of the exhaust (4 bolts).

I got about 50k [drive]on mine on the soft setting. About 2 months ago I had to [wrench] weld the right rear lower mounting bracket. It had cracked on me and was squeaking over bumps. She's [drive] fine once again[up]
