Post by Brooner » Mon Jun 22, 2015 3:50 pm

anyone fitted after market Anti roll bars if so any noted improvement did it make the ride too harsh or make the suspension knock
as i'm looking to do this in the near future possibly lowering springs too but unsure about them at the moment

With the sports diff I don't feel the need to look t or change this part like i did on my old B6 S4. THe sports diff seems to take care of all the understeer.

The DRC does a decent job of controlling roll.

Speak to Doug at MRC. They sell H&R bars for the B8 platform and I'm pretty sure he fitted them go his B8 S4, along with all the other Audi's he has / has had. He'll probably be able to give you an indication of what they'd be like on the B8 RS4.

i hear what your saying about the DRC but i put H&R ARB on my B7 and it did tighten things up a bit it felt a bit more planted in the twisties so will probably go ahead with this mod a nd report back after afew week after its fitted

May be a dumb question but are there aftermarket ARB's and what are the claimed differences? Just larger diameter or also adjustable or?

Thanks Brooner

Checked through and they seem to be 2mm larger diameter each end, which funnily enough seems to be the step up to the RS4 ARB which gets touted as the cure for lesser A4's.

The thicker ARB may help, as mine seems to be a bit unhinged/unsettled running "dynamic" on a rough country road in the wet, but is better on "comfort" in those conditions and may benefit from the thicker sway bar at the same time.

Now thinking ... :bowdown:

LOL, I meant your post made very little sense due to typos / autocorrections etc, and even then it just seemed like you'd dropped some random words in.
