Default Just shelled out $500 for the H-SPORT SWAY BARS... what to expect???

So i just picked up a set of h-sport sway bars, i was gonna go neuspeed but I heard nothing but fabulous things about the h-sport's so it was enough to persuade me.

I have never had experience with sway bars and have never felt the "before and after affect" so I have no idea what my car is gonna feel like....

Is the steering wheel gonna be more responsive?? Obviously it stiffens up the rear a great deal which im very excited about, with my neuspeed/bilsteins im gonna have a blast taking corners now... is it gonna make the back end EVEN HARDER to let loose??

I need some input on what im in for! Is it really a big difference? Like stock springs/shocks vs. aftermarket springs/shocks or is it a completely different type of stiffening/feeling??

Sweet stiff rear... I mean.... Im stoked you got them and can't wait for the report as to what kind of handling gains you get (is that even a phrase? handling gains? probably not) anyway, let us know how th ecar rides, i too am interested in making my cornering a little better... a wagon with sways.. who would have ever thought.

when I did the sway bars and strut brace in my talon, I noticed a big difference entering corners and handling pavement level-changes IN the corners. No more sloppy response. As for breaking the rear end loose, I found it didn't let go as easily.

I have yet to do this on the Audi. Good luck and enjoy

Your car is going to corner like it is on rails.

IMO H-Sport swaybars are the most noticable mod for the money.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm in winter mode now so the 19's are in storage until Spring... and it can't come soon enough!

You can find me at the local Audi and VW meets so I hope to see you around one day.
