Megan Racing vs. 034Motorsports rear swaybar

[johnheer]

Both the Megan Racing and the 034Motorsports rear sway bars are 25.4 mm. Both of them are adjustable. The 034Motorsports costs $280 and the Megan Racing costs $168 -- $112 difference. Is the difference between them worth $112?

Doesn't look like they make one for the S4.

ECS Tuning has them both listed for B8/B8.5 S4 model.

I buy a lot from ECS, but given their recent fitment issues with a couple of their own items, I don't put much faith in that. Megan site shows
Application:
-Audi A4 09-13
-Audi A5 08-13
-Audi S5 08-11

Someone smarter than me can probably tell if it would also fit the S4.

You are right. The various sites for Megan Racing (Megan Racing Performance) do not show anything for B8.5 S4. So maybe the original question is moot.

i've bought a few Megan Racing parts for my e90 m3 in the past... they were always known as the cheaper (less expensive and lower quality) manufacturer. i never had a problem with it necessarily but LINDW4LL's observation is likely the key difference for the price difference

I've heard that the tortional rigidity of a hollow bar is higher than that of a solid bar because there is more surface area. Anyone heard that?

There's no way you'd notice any difference between the two.
Unless you are a professional race car driver with a ton of very specifically engineered suspension components that had to work 110% holistically with one another it won't make any difference. Most here peace meal together mods for road cars anyways... even track cars for that matter.

B8 a4 stuff fits s4...I would buy the 034 cuz your supporting a audi brand over a brand that mostly focuses on Honda and other gaydm stuff. Plus I bet the megan bar is pink easy pass.
