Default sway bar, how much gain?

Ok, I still want to wait for it to be truely summer before I slam her down with co's, but in the meantime I despritely need some type of better handling, cause stock I was never too impressed. My question is how much will just slapping on some new biggersway bars help? (..and not doing anything else to the suspension..)

I have, and would recommend, putting in a largerrear sway bar only.....huge difference. True with most cars with average handling which is surprisingly my opinion of the stock S4....

Anyone else have anything? Wouldn't the just the back thing throw it off, only tightening up the rear?

Yeah but you already have a fairly large front sway bar. So don't you really only need the rear?

I put a rear Neuspeed in mine and it made a big difference. Reduces roll, of course, but also helps a ton with understeer. Letting the front dip a little more than the rear reduces the understeer, which is why you should only do the rear. Best investment I ever made for this car.

Yea I have H&R front and rear sway bars, and they do help a bit. Even with z-rated ToyoProxis, i didn't get the result I was hoping for. Body roll is still a big problem, over all I am not too impressed. I would definetely work the suspension, as well as add the sway bar. Yesss4 has the right idea.
