Is upgrade anti-roll bar a must if I lower the ride?
Guys,
My ride is 04 3.0Q base model with 17" wheels. I am about to order Koni FSD + Eibach Pro Kit from Tirerack. Since Eibach Pro springs will lower the ride about 1.2", should I upgrade the stock non-sport anti-roll bar? If it is OK to use the stock non-sport ones, I would rather save the $$$ now. If it is a must, can you recommand any good and easy install anti-roll bars?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the input. One more question, if I decided to put on shocks and springs right now and sway bars later, do I need to do alighment twice? I know shocks and springs required an alignment what about sways?
Thanks.
Thanks.

The answer is 'No' but if you do upgrade get a set of H-Sport swaybars.
It will be the most noticable mod you will do to your car.
With Quattro your car will turn as if it was on rails.

H-Sport sway bars is the one I am going to get either now or in the future(most likely now). Does it required any special instructions to install it? Because if I cannot find any good shop around my area, I might just go to local tire shop or garage to get it done.

you can do the sway bars yourself, i put mine on and it took about an hour for front and rear, just a few bolts and make sure you put it on the right direction because you can put it on backwards, i was at hotchkis and they did and it could do serious damage.

i don't have the h-sports, i have the h&r's, when the car was lowered it handled better than i could imagine but then i got into tie rod issues and the suspension got really loose after about 6 months, they are still on with the car being stock and it still handles great.
