how much would sway bars improve the handling and stability?

From what I have heard, the RS4 rear sway bar helps reduce understeer. Haven't installed it yet, but it supposed to be a noticeable difference.

This has been and continues to be a topic of discussion. With upgraded suspension (including high spring rates), stickier tires inflated to the correct pressures and the H-sport, Neuspeed or RS4 sways there should be a noticeable difference affecting the understeer characteristics of the B6 & B7 platforms. Stasis Engineering has the ultimate solution, which is to change out the center diff ($1K) and the rear diff ($2K). Hope this helps.

Now that is a beautiful A4. From top to bottom that is very well put together imo. Love the Champion wheels too btw.

Are those the S-Line optional package wheels? They look really similar, but that looks badass, a bit too badass for stock wheels.

Thanks guys. The wheels are Champion RF62's. Look similar to the S-Line Titanium wheels.

Well, you started getting me intrested in an A4 S-line, and i've been on audizine all week. I think i want one.

As far as ride quality goes, how do you like the coilovers you had before the Ohlins? I would want to lower the car, but i have full coilovers on my "fun" car now and the ride is a little less than satisfactory on our crappy all-season roads. In your opinion, would springs be sufficent, or go for more like an H&R true coilover setup, or something else?

I want to firm up the handling a bit, and lower the car, but at the end of the day, it would be a daily driver and i want it to ride nicely.

Your thoughts would be much appreciated!

Also... is the intake worth it? i've heard mixed reviews on audizine?

The first suspension set up I had, the Stasis street sport, was a nice ride. It was a bit too soft for my taste. It was a good setup though. I don't know about the H&R setup, so I can't really comment on those. As for the intake, I did all my performance mods at the same time, so I can't tell if the intake alone made a difference. At the very least, it sounds good.
