Is there a place where I can buy this? It should be a straight install right? Thanks in advance.

So the overall concensus seems to be that it is worth having as it improves the handling and you don't lose much in way of comfort. Anyone disagree?

Yes seems to be... Just a bit stiffer. Where can I get this? Do you think the dealer would install while still honoring the warranty?

SS plus

I would reckon so, particularly as it's an OE part and dealer fitted.

thats exactly what I was thinking, I doubt Audi will touch a retro fit on these anyway

no, I have heard more like £2.5k for new parts and bin old ones; don;t see why Audi would not retro-fit, its a straight swap and its OEM parts you could have ordered as an option on the car

(Winterrunner - no idea about US, I am in UK)
