From what I've been reading and hearing, a rear swaybar is an inexpensive mod that will help handling a lot. My question is, what about the front? Is it better to get both? I have a B7 S4.

 

I say get rear only. I think the majority of audi guys do that. I have a neuspeed one and you can really tell the difference.

 

rear.

 

Thanks for the input. Getting a rear one put on tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out!

 

I'm waiting for my neuspeed adjustable in mail im excited. I have a b5 s4 tho. report back, what brand did you go with?

 

It's a Neuspeed and I had it installed yesterday. Very noticable difference in handling. Anyone who is considering a rear sway bar, and even if you're not, I highly recommend it. I paid $350 including installation at a high-end shop so I'm sure you can find one for even cheaper.

 

Nice, glad to hear.... I payed $240 shipped to my door. Which stiffness do you have it set on?

 

I'm looking at getting sways for my '01 S4. why just rear sways?

 

Beefier rear sways will tend to help minimize understeer. However I think that a case can be made for beefing up both front and rear - particularly considering all the weight in the front of our cars. After installing Hotchkiss H-sport front & rear sways I still noticed a huge improvement in my ability to flare out the rear of my car (particularly with throttle lift) and much easier turn-in in general. Additionally my front end does not dip at all - corners absolutly flat - where before (admittedly I upgraded to KW coilovers at the same time) it would not only noticiibly dip - but to the point where I would often rub my wheels on the wells and had to smooth them out repeatedly - now - none of that...a great deal of this I attribute to the now very beefy front sway bars.

 

only get a front sway if you have upgraded suspension. period!
