Anybody done sway bars on a c7 a6? How much does it help the massive body roll and does it makes the ride rough? I already have Eibach springs. What other suspension work can I do to make the car handle better?

I have the EC sways and links. They improved the handling dramatically, and have had no noticeable impact on the ride quality.

I have the Eurocode sway bars and end links, the ride is still pleasant in comfort mode. It should be fine on the A6 also. There are many posts on this, even for the A6.

Did you get front and rear as well? I was planning on doing rear only at first and seeing if that would do the trick.

034 rear bar and end links. [emoji1303] there is much debate here on EC vs. 034. I chose 034 for my7 but have the EC setup on my Q5 and former RS5 and S5. Both high quality and very effective.

I just did Eibach and left the OEM struts in place. Slightly stiffer ride, wasnt feeling totally put together though. Blew a strut after 3 weeks on the springs. I then installed Bilstein B8 struts and it's night and day different. Body roll is non existent. The shock valving is much more aggressive.

I did just the front struts, but I have the rears sitting in the garage and I'm about to do those. Major difference with just the fronts. Lowering springs all around.
