    Bilstein sports with OEM sport springs and RS4 rear sway bar. Is this overkill?

    I bought the RS4 rear sway to use with the stock sports suspension last year but now my shocks are blown. I just pulled the trigger on a set of Bilstein sports and now I'm thinking it may be a little too stiff in the rear. Should I be conserned. I threw away my original sway bar :(

    I am running the exact same set-up, and I LOVE it. i will eventually get lower springs for aesthetic reasons.

    i have an avant so maybe different (more junk in the trunk) but the ride is comfortable and smooth during normal driving but very supportive in the turns. never feels jarring to me. guess i should drive harder.

    Thanx for the reply. I was hoping for the same results. I'm in the middle of replacing my shocks now. (I'd be done if PureMS hadn't forgotten to send my 2 spring mounts ) But it seems to be the springs that make the ride really stiff from what I've read. Guess I'll have to wait till next week to find out.
