Finally installed my RS4 rear sway last night...

sNoSTaRR · 07-28-2008, 11:59 AM

such a perfect, and extremely cost effective, suspension upgrade. Maybe I'm imagining things, but the car actually feels lighter arought corners.

After spending far too much time fvcking around with the oversized RS4 bushings, I had to consult the AW search button which resurrected an A4darkness write-up. If only I had seen this post earlier!

I spent over an hour trying to figure out how to get the passenger side bushing fastend down but had the installation wrapped up within minutes of reading A4Darknesses instructions. Thanks!

Nothing like the feeling of completing a successful DIY job...

Im at work now, with scraped knuckles and dirty fingernails, anxious as hell to get home and drive it (responsibly, of course!).

Wondering if it is worth it to upgrade only 2mm (correct me if that's wrong). Or should I just go full h-sport s4
