Default Anti-Sway Bars

I'm looking to reduce the UNDERSTEER of my A4. Which anti-sway bars should I get? rear or front? what brand?

Forgot where I heard this but...

"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of your car, and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of your car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, and torque is how far you take the wall with you."

Eventually, more anti-sway bars you have, less bodyroll you get.
You can get less understeer installing an OEM RS4 rear sway bar, it 22mm and costs like $120. Search on google for more feedbacks. If you wanna get front sways also, look at Hotchkins, a lot of good feedbacks. But, lowering your car will help it a LOT.

Install a stiff rear one, remove the front one. Simple!

Agreed with all of that. Stiffen the end of the car that you want to have dominant in a turn. Want more of a RWD feel with less understeer? Stiffen the rear, as audiprotein said. I wouldn't advise removing the front one though - you're not going rock-crawling, and the sway bar does help keep steering controllable.

I autocross with no front sway bar. It's fine.
