Default Rear sway bar?

I have 2001 quattro 1.8 AWM

I hear the rear sway bar S4? helps alot. Is it the RS4 or just S4 I need to look for? I assume only the bushings are needed to change over?
I have not been able to find the info on my searches.
I keep coming up with neuspeed kits and such.


Thanks,

I am not positive, but if you have the sport package I believe you would have s4 sway bars already. if you don't have sport package, it may be a worthwhile upgrade. again, not positive though but I am positive that if you have sport package, at least one of the sway bars is s4 spec

I don't know about the RS4 swap bar, but I'm running the S4 sway bar and it works just fine. You will need the bar and bushings from an S4. At the same time I would recommend adding the all metal end links as the stock plastic links are prone to breaking.

Both sway bars are thicker with sport suspension and are identical to the S4 parts, you won't have to search far to find a set.
