...who sorted me with H&R anti-roll bars, front and rear, at short notice last week.

Even though I'm still stock height (pending resolution of a "driveway undulation issue" :cry: ) they've made a significant difference - body roll is greatly reduced, car feels better balanced on turn-in and exit, and that "floaty" front-end feel of stock suspension is completely gone.

Even though they overran their estimate a little the labour still came to half what <cough> Audi dealership charged me to swap over a TBB the day before!

Highly recommended and my S4 will certainly be going back there,
Dave

Dave,

The TBB is a weak point in your car and should be regularly inspected. It really is such a simple job to do, unless you are really a 'hands-off' person I would advise that you learn how to (IIRC DavidT is the expert).

Dippy... yeah, I know, will definitely DIY it next time but I'm just a little paranoid about doing anything that might give them the excuse to void the warranty on the Turbos...

I'm no expert (SiTa is though) but they are easy to change.

I'm for getting a samco one or even the APR bi-pipe as you have Dippy, the last TBB failure on my car was the suspected cause of turbo failure and a £3.3k warranty claim.
