I have a 1996 S6 2.2 Avant w/original sport suspension.
I want to increase cornering stability without loosing all ride comfort.
Solutions??

I have been very impressed with the ride comfort retained by the Bilstein/H&R combination I put on my car. The handling is superb and on decent roads I dare say more comfortable. On bad roads... it is very noticible, you get bounced all over the place.

It's a question of what exactly is more important to you. You could always just do a sway bar, get some 17 or 18" wheels with stiff sidewall tires, and call it a day. Or perhaps just replacing your 8 year old stock suspension would help.

Unfortunately that is the eternal question in suspension design, performance and comfort don't go well together.

to Sachs Advantage... big mistake.
Changing to Koni this summer..
Do you have a supplier name for the rear sway bar upgrade?

Drove with 18" 235/35 before. It didn't reduce body roll..
Due to the road standard here (Norway), I prefer the original 16" 225/50.

Since you have an Avant, you already have the stock 17mm bar. That bar is only good for 33lbs of anti-roll. The 26mm HRSB has 3 adjustment holes that are rated at 125, 140, and 155lbs of anti-roll. The beauty of a sway bar is that when you're just riding down the road, the bar is just along for the ride. When you turn the car, however, then the bar goes to work with that anti-roll. We have guys, like me with full coil-overs all the way to stock ride height using this bar to flatten out the lean and ridding ourselves of understeer.

Hap, wit dahkine flat cornering in Evahboost

they don't look like they are. They should be about 235/45. Your looks like the sidewalls are little too short.

just because Audi thought the 92 was too harsh for the market?

Harshness was not the reason for the bar going away. It was the reason they softened the suspension in later years. A sway bar does not add to the harshness of the ride at all. The reason I think has to do with liability in our litigious American society. I think they got scared about these cars being too good, as in lack of understeer. Now I've driven stock 92s and they still understeer like pigs but the rationale had to do with degree of understeer. Anyway, that is my opinion only.

Hap, offerin dahkine opinions in Evahboost

Kinda like slappin a nasty lookin spoiler on the otherwise clean shape of the TT. What a crime.

You are always kicking "dahkine"??? Thought it was just an island thing. (Disclaimer: I'm not from Hawaii, but I wear a "dakine" hat and was schooled on the proper use of the term by my island friends:))
