Any B6 A4's Quattros need some Hsport sway bars?

JCM3 · 03-01-2007, 03:50 AM

I still have some near new (about 100 miles on them) A4 specific Hsports (35mm front and 22mm rear). Track days are coming up! Like to get 250 obo just posting local befor I post up on the classifieds (shippings a hassle).

I am not that impressed with the H Sport solution. I believed the hype and got some for my B5. I never understeered so much as I did that last ABCC day. It understeered worse than it did when it had a bad uplinky. The car was great at Putnam earlier in the summer with just the Neuspeed in the rear, and I was really fast there. I am now running H Sport in the rear and stock in the front. And no I am not swapping ends all of the time like everybody warned me about. I still haven't driven it on the track with that configuration, but based on how it drives in snow I think I should be happy.

That said, I will need to review my alignment settings with Al because I may have more rear camber than most people. Because of this, I can't completely dismiss the H Sports.

While I think adding them to the wife's car would be cool, I am still not convinced any Audi driver needs a front bar that is that big. I guess I might buy it just for the rear bar, but I don't want the wife dealing with any handling unpredictability. That said, I would be inclined to experiment. I am not interested in them for $250 because they really are NOT the greatest thing since breast implants. I might be inclinded to do this for far less of an investment, but not for $250.

I offer $150.

... big improvement over the Nudespeed. Not even a hint of understeer even when I had the H&R /bilstein prior to the stasis kit.

It's weird considering that you had understeer issues when you put my old suspension on the same platform car. The only difference that comes to mind between the two is that I had the SPP(?) strut tower brace.

Since the springs, shocks, rear sway, uplinks, and alignment have all changed since you drove it a year ago. I want to see how it does given your driving style.
