Rear Anti Roll Bar

Put the RS4 one on. It's worth it ;)

I can't recall. I think about £80 including the new rubbers (due to wider diameter). I then paid the local exhaust centre £30 to fit it.

The key when fitting is that you keep the weight on the wheels. i.e. don't have the wheels hanging due to using a post lift etc.

I went to the exhaust place as I could drive it on to a ramp and raise the car. If means when the ARB is fitted it avoids twisting up the rubbers which happens if you raise the wheels.

It's a simple job although my Milltek made it a little more difficult so they have to loosen a clamp or two to get the extra few mm of space needed.

p.s. You shouldn't need to worry about part numbers. Just tell the dealer you want an RS4 ARB along with the rubbers etc.

You should consider even better ARBs such as the Hotchkis or H&R kits. More pricey, but stiffer than the stock items.
