ouch..[:@]

If you want to really notice a difference,
I'd say get some C/O's - thatll help w/ your handling & Itll look sharper too!

buit if youre not into the whole suspension thing, H-sport swaybars (rear)
should be just gravy...

i got the KW Variant 2 coils and the car handles awesome. I also got the neusspeed rear sway bar which i think also is great the car handles amazing now and is alot of fun. I had them both installed at the same time so i couldnt tell u the difference either made by themselves but the car deffinitly felt alot different and handled a ton better.

I bought mine a while ago with H&R coilovers and swaybars and with 225/40/18 Bridgestone Potenzas, I dont know how the car would handle stock, all I know is that my buddy with his lowered A4 slows way down when hes following me while going onramps when it makes a almost a full 180 turn, but what I know is that I really have to have a firm grip on the steering wheel, otherwise car would get off the straight line, it requires more concentrating while drivig, but at the same time its awesome because keeping a car like this on the road means you actually own one. Not to mention that my turbos are pushing 22 pounds, waiting for them to go out so I can go K04....

Like sjp02s4 I had my H-sport sways & KW (var3) coilovers instaled together - awesome! ...truly...the combo is just first rate...makes it feel as if the car is 1/2 the weight....I never dip or plow anymore - even on very tight twisties (such as my recent jaunt in the Dragon) and it just handles everything so much better. I was having a rubbing issue with my right front - totally gone...I can push the car so much harder in every situation - and the car deals with uneven pavement on hills & around curves & with expansion joints and everything so much better. In general the car feels both much more composed and much more aggressive at the same time. No question - (upgraded) sways (& coilovers) are a must if you really want to push your car in anything other then a straight line on the flats. You won't regret the change - and you will enjoy driving the car so much more - in every situation.
