Default S4 Rear Sway Bar For My A4

I found a guy selling an OEM S4 sway bar in my area off of craigslist for $60. Is this a good deal and will it make any difference in my car's handeling in things such as body roll and understeer?

I'm sure it will probably make SOME sort of difference, but I don't have any idea how much.[>:]

I don't know anything about the S4 one but a rear sway should help quite a bit and I would guess the S4 one is better than the stock A4 one if it looks beefier then it most likely is.
Not a lot of help but my 2 cents and a bump.

Well for a second I thought you was a 1.8t stupid me lol, but since you have the bigger engine it will help you out pretty good since the S4 is a v6 and it draws more power, I would figure that you will see a nice change also you should try and get some S4 springs.

the s4 sway bar is the same as the stock sport a4 sway bar, so unless you dont have sport suspension, its not gona make a difference

Im pretty sure I dont have sport suspension, but I'm not positive, I just googled how to tell if you have the sport but I found nothing. What do i look for to check if I have sport, I do in fact have the 3 spoke steering wheel with the little red and white s-line symbol even tho i only have an A4. I love asking n00b questions.

Post a picture of your car in profile and someone'll probably be able to tell you. Or better yet, show us a pic of your wheels (assuming they're original to the car).
