New Boots...What a Difference!

It still rolls around too much. Needs a pair of uprated anti rolls bars I think to help stiffen it up a bit. Grip is great as standard anyway, its the rolling and effort needed to hold the line that needs help.

Any one running thicker anti roll bars?

The wallowing is terrible.....didn't expect formula one car handling BUT compared to my Panmera the 6 is embarrassing to be fair?

Do a low speed hard left to right steer down a quiet road. The wallowing is sea sick inducing!

Ive only found one manufacturer of an aftermarket ARB. It is american (so no rs6) and badged as A6 / S6 / A7 / S7 / RS7 but on another site it also lists the RS6 too. But I think it is for president facelift. And I believe there are 2 diferent mounts for facelift (maybe MY15 and 16 or PE and non-PE?)

Your number one Guinea pig!!

Thanks for the tip! Will consider when it comes time to change.
I plan to get the geometry done soon given the amount of cars that seem to be out of whack from factory. Do you know how much adjustment there is? I aim to max out the front camber.

Be careful as that will make the car much more road crown sensitive - already an issue on these cars as anyone who has done a full bore overtake on a normal A or B road knows too well.

I'd simply focus on trying to get the camber front and rear and the front castor as close as you can left to right. See innercry666's post - the 'before' figures were very different left and right!

At least this way, the car will do the same left and right, and reduce torque steer when say moving from the left of the road to the crown of the road to overtake as Mike mentions

Toe wise, rear toe in gives you understeer, front toe in reduces understeer. Personally, I'd not want any more front toe in, too much is only going to wear the outside shoulders. But maybe wind off some of the rear toe in that the car probably / inevitably has from the factory. Again, see innercry's specs

Yeah, its all A & B roads I drive on, being remapped it can be down right scary. Total <beep> for a 80k motor. Its the only thing I hate about it!! I nail it to pass then easy off before I come back on my own side of the road otherwise things can get a little out of hand. Think this may cause the demise of the RS6 for me

Should have got a car with Springs.

Nah, love the comfort. Cars with springs report the same issue. Either way it's irrelevant what the car runs it should be built to cope. Did the same stock just not so pronounced.
