That should tighten up your steering, as far as the looks, right now its awesome, with larger wheels it'll fill in more gap, dependent on yur wheels, which i assume will be 40-50

Thanks, but the international mailing costs alone would be brutal. Plus I've given up on lowering, - D.D. A6 Avant 2.7Tq 2008-04-30 10:50:42 (42 views)

Aftermarket springs by themselves are usually around $300. - audikillsbmw 2008-04-29 10:35:41 (60 views)

Crazy ! I'd rather spend $300+ on something nicer, like wheels & chips (or fish & chips mmm) - D.D. A6 Avant 2.7Tq 2008-04-29 11:22:51 (57 views)

I need to stop discussing fish & chips, it makes me homesick :-( - D.D. A6 Avant 2.7Tq 2008-04-30 03:55:55 (32 views)

I'll leave it unchanged then :-) Still don't feel the need for a sway bar - D.D. A6 Avant 2.7Tq 2008-04-29 11:23:57 (49 views)

I think the term anti-sway comes form the US car industry's love affair with a live rear axle...... - Edd W 2008-04-30 03:30:08 (44 views)

Or sway bar for short =P But whatever suites you, if you feel good with what you got, Cheers - Raudi_6 akaDeutschMF 2008-04-29 11:34:14 (44 views)
