    Hi,

    Has anybody have idea how to reduce the squat and body roll of this car (any mods that would help??), I have the lowering module and i'm lowered like 30mm and that has helped a lot but its still there and I hate it, otherwise I like the car but I want it to handle like Porsche Panamera, my friend has that car and there is no body roll or squat there even the Panamera is heavier and bigger it still handles perfectly.

    Thanks!

    Sway/anti roll bars will definitely help, you might give up a ride comfort depending on how stiff you set the (ride comfort) depending on how big and stiff a sway bar you get, you could always get some new wheels with
    a smaller off set or get some spacers to widen the track a little. I believe there are also a number a braces you could get to bolt onto the chassis to stiffen up the body resulting in lessen body roll
    If you go the spacer route you might have to given up your cars stance! If you do the new wheels or spacers don't make the tyre rub against the fender.
    Hope the helps

    Cheers AS6

    Getting Eurocode sway bars and end links, it will help easing the body roll but it won't simply go away. However if you want your Audi to handle like a Porsche, you will have to get a Porsche unfortunately.

    Thanks for the answer, will try sway bars for now. My next car is cone be 100% the new Porsche Panamera, even the old's Panameras handling is on different level compare to Audi.

    Its amazing how Porsche manages to figure it out. Even the Macan handles beautifully.

    I think installation time is like 1h max, wondering is it possible maybe to program the s7,rs7 air suspension to be more stiffer in dynamic mode? Anybody done this or have information is this possible?

    Thanks, I'll try and get quotes from local shops. I tried searching but didn't find any information on whether that was possible. Let me know if you have better luck!

    The RS7 with dynamic option has steel springs and cross-linked rheomagnetic shocks. In comfort mode it is similar to sport mode on air suspension RS7. In sport mode, it rides like a rock but stays extremely flat even thru extremely tight/fast corners. Sports diff also helps cornering - just as front starts to push, the rear end starts to come around (controlled). Give it some gas in mid corner, and it turns sharper. A bit counter-intuitive (steering with the gas pedal), but it works. Don't know if you can retrofit this system or not. Would probably be quite expensive, and you wouldn't get the low-rider look. Needs to have some fender gap to work correctly.
    How fast is fast?

    I got rid of my Macan for other reasons, but I agree 100%. The handling on the Macan S was day and night better compared to my S6 or even the S7/RS7 I test drove.

    Agree, Porsches don't have any squat or body roll, they just go where you point them.
