Rs4 rear sway question

[03CrysBlueB6]

i am completely stock.. suspensino and everything.. will i feel a difference adding the Rs4 rear sway??

[cjonesgo]

yes, a big difference.


especially if you are going from non sport to the rs4 rear sway. lots of threads about this mod, and they are all correct. a great bang for buck mod for our cars.

[03CrysBlueB6]

oh sorry i am actually sport suspension.. will i still see a big difrerence?

[Ultra B6]

as above YES... go get it and you tell us the difference

makes the car feel like a go-kart imo

[a4darkness]

Here's my install and impressions... overall, it's been a fantastic addition to the sport suspension. Some prefer to replace both the front and rear using the H-Sport package while others like just the addition of the RS4 bar. Either way, it's a win.

just do the rear no need to spend more on a set if you want to improve it more in the future just get some co

i have the rs4 rear and it made a huge difference with the steering body roll and stiffness

[03CrysBlueB6]

i will ahve to pick one up tomrorow when my audi stealership is open.. how is the isntall for someone who doesnt have to mcuh eperience installing own gear??

[a4darkness]

It's pretty easy. With the right tools and a little patience, you'll be fine. Just don't forget the blue locktite.

[03CrysBlueB6]

sounds good man thanks for your help?? and how much is this going to run with the bushings?? about 130?? i would probably want to get the new bushings anyways... and also.. its the B7 Rs4 sway right

[EBG 18T]

it will make a nice differnce for a stock sport car. takes 30 min to install with basic tools. you need a set of ramps to make the install easier.

[a4darkness]

Yup, should be around that... unless your dealer is gouging. Part numbers are at the end of my install or you can buy the entire kit from ECS here:

Getting mine on Wed. $80 for the rear and $120 for the front from the dealer!!!!

[a4darkness]

Which front bar is that? OEM Sport or something else?

Front and Rear RS4 sways.

[a4darkness]

Ah, gotcha. Should be the same as the OEM sport then.

all i have heard only good things about this mod. are there any drawbacks??

About 130 drawbacks, but its a great mod, and doesnt break the bank do it

[ApexIt]

130 doesnt seem that bad for something thats being praised so much. im sold on the idea tho. im gonna buy it this week. do i need any other pieces besides the bar itself for the install?

[Pothole]

a lot of people recomend getting the larger rs4 bushings, you can reuse the old ones but it is a larger bar 18mm to 22mm (i think) so it will need effort to fit

[A4natomical]

the only "drawback" i had was trying to get the old sway out once it was unbolted. it was kinda tricky finding the right angle/direction it had to come out cause its sitting right above the exhaust.

Are the bolts that you listed at the end of DIY really necessary?

[a4darkness]

Well, I bought them as part of a 'kit' from ECS but listed them for those who were looking for the part numbers themselves. Not mission critical but figured I should include the info anyway.

it comes with new bushings its the brackets that are a pain in the ass and you might consider buying the rs4 ones just to save you 10 min

[ApexIt]

If I were to buy the bar from the dealership, would i tell them i want and 05 rs4 rear sway bar? Or does it not matter? (I drive an 05 1.8t)

[Ultra B6]

if your going to do it, get the bushings, i got em from the dealer for $20 with 4 new bolts(old ones were a lil rusted) and let it took half the time (and aggravation) with the correct size brackets

don't forget to use ALOT of lube it also makes things alot easier!

[B6480Avant]

It Comes With Bushings Its The Brackets That You Need To Buy Separate

[ApexIt]

ok, but do i specify which year for the bar when I go to the dealer to buy the part or does it not matter? The dealerships in my area all want around $140 for the bar which is about the same price as on ecstuning.

[B6480Avant]

B6/B7 is the same go here and get everything 135 plus shipping Thats with the brackets included http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=234586

[akordboy]

when you install it, def get the RS4 brackets....makes the job that much easier. After installing mine, the front end feels pretty loose. Anybody else's like that? I'm thinking it's because of tightening the rear end up.

[jon102034050]

buy it, you wont regret it.

[ngng]

get the hsport RS4 rear
