So, i'm off to centre of gravity at the end of the month, and i want to also have some new anti roll bars fitted... can anyone recommend the best ones for general road use for me to upgrade to.
Thanks,
Chris

Probably H&R thick bars. Larkspeed is usually the cheapest.

Yes. The rear is massive. About 29mm IIRC. They will be hollow though so not directly compatible, etc. There was talk about them breaking the end links a long time ago. Not sure how much of an issue it really was and under what conditions.

We use Hotchkiss on the C5 RS6 and I haven't heard of any issues with them.

I rand H&R front and rear on mine very happy with the stiffness when pushing into corners

Yep and on the B5's but the snapped end links was on the B7 (although I do remember having to fit RS2 drop links on the B5 as the factory ones were plastic). I'm sure they are fine on the B7 too, but the general consensus was that they were much more aggressive on that platform.

I've used H&R on both my RS4's, they make a postive diference on handling and feel. I really recomend them.

Because that's what I have. I had them on my A4 B7. And than swapped to RS4. Funny enough when I spoke to eibach they said they don't do one for RS4. Well I guess they do
