i think its a good mod
but i say u should get sway bars instead unless u already have sway bars
its gonna give a bit more stability, like it said its gonna help wit the tranny and engine movement

autospeed has the exact same one as AWE for cheaper

nuespeed's is just a lower brace, its not really a dts. but i've heard DTS's make a big difference, helps alot with tranny and engine slop.

The sloppy shifting in the S4 has gone too far!! I bought one of the AWE DTS parts and getting it installed today along with new engine mounts and snub mount. Hopefully going to see a big difference, I'll let you know what I think.

So just got the car back with the AWE DTS installed, and all I can say is WOW! Well worth the money, this car feels brand new. Although they also put a new snub mount in at the same time, it may be partly due to this.

I have no regrets spending the $350 on this part. By far the best thing I've done for this car...

I took it for a solid thrash around the neighborhood and the shifting was crisp and tight, no more slop!!

For anyone that's considering one of these, I will highly recommend one. There's a reason Audi decided to use the AWE design in their new models.

The sway bars will enhance turn-in and body roll, but will not affect shifting. Sway bars and DTS are two unrelated mods.
