Does any one know if this will fit a 100csq? Differences between L-5 vs. V-6 in fitting one? Thanks,JeffH.

Have you driven a newer model Audi? The chassis is much stiffer!I couldn't see where it would hurt. Jack up your car and watch the flexing.

I totally agree that the new car mutch stiffer. I also agree that the brace will not hurt. But I think that new car is stiffer against "twisting" of the whole body. Or twisting of the front to the rear. The brace will reduce moving of one side strut to another. Which you cannot see when you jack your car. And again you have double firewall so this part is way more ridged, than S4 with single firewall.

significant additional ridgidity. The improved stiffness of later generation Audis is due to design improvements at other chassis areas. An upper stress bar can't hurt, the only downside is additional weight.

i would love front and rear anti sway bars if there are available...

but then again hard to justify building such a good handling car that really doesnt have much power...both going and stopping
