Default RE: looking for sway bars

I was looking at the H-Sport, tey they are 20mm rear sways, while the oem RS4's are 22mm. Is that the only differnece? no different stiffness in material?

and oh poop. i jsut saw thats all for B6. not to be a thread stealer...but for the B5, i found H&R's, which comes front and rear for like 50, and neuspeed, but its only 19mm and its still $350 ish.

anyone know where i can get the bigger rear sway, like the H&R, but not have to buy the front? and y are the b6 sways so much cheeper?

i got mine in a package. put the front one on and tried to get the back but a stripped bolt and the fact that it was 2am after over 10 hours of a suspension install meant i called it quits. i drove around with just a front sway bar and my rear sway bar wasnt even tite for a long time
but after i put that rear on it made a world of deffernece

have you tried it with just rear?

I am wondering if with just read, if you would get better handling, or it would just feel "cooler" like going around a corner it would be mroe likley to kick teh back end out for oversteer.

Or with only rear on it would actually handle better. I am kinda OCD on if i can get 10% better performance but I didnt, ill beat myself up over it forever

ok im confused. some say 1 thing, the others say another. If i install just the rear sway bar, will i have better handling than if i install both front and read sway bars?

I believe that by putting the sway bar in back your car will react more like a rear wheel drive car by reduce the oversteer. If replacing both go heavier in the rear.
