Oh yeah, for sure. I will take it to a large parking lot or something to get the feel of it. Thanks for all your help guys.

Beefyosito...................would you elaborate please, and explain what handling differences I might experience on each of the two (or 3?) settings.

My goal is to correct the understeer the stock 225Q coupe displays in cornering. It "plows" a bit too much for me. I'm used to the agility of a Miata, which I still use as my daily driver.

beefyosito: you are saying that the holes nearest the rear of the car, once the RSB is installed, are for more stiffness? Beachchair said all the way forward for more stiffness... who is correct?

This thread has gone in two different directions:
Morc started it with a question about a Quattro
NeXeA500 later asked about install on a FWD
They are completely different installs. My response was to the install and set up for a FWD.

Uh-oh. Is what ArturTTQ says true???? ...I have to upgrade the front if I install the 21mm rear???? Holey Moley!!

Jeeze, I thought I was doing a good thing going with the 21mm rear.....I really wasn't planning to upgrade the front. The 21mm is in route to me already, I'm sure, so I can't really change to a 19mm at this late date.
What problem can I expect?????

I'll bet you'll be fine.

I installed mine on the Friday the 20th: set on the hole nearest the front of the car, install took 2 hours between having friends stop by, eating dinner, and driving a lil bit with no exhaust on. It's a breeze. I can't believe people pay to have it put in or refuse to use a jack and stands.

I also have the Haldex blue, and the car feels fine. The next auto x is coming up shortly, then I can seewhat difference theHaldex blue and H&R 21mm RSB make for me.
