I think you are just gonna have to drive it and play around with different combinations of sway bar configurations to find what suits you best. Remember, you also have the option of not running a front sway bar at all, which will induce some oversteer.

Once you got it dialed in you can start making videos to rival ken block

HAHA! That would be freakin awesome xD

Awesome R swaybar install. Must copy that! Look forward to hearing how it handles.

Yup sure did! I ended up taking it to a shop today and they pressed it in for 10 bucks. :-)

Sweet Project

Im doing the same rear sway bar upgrade on my coupe right now. Just waiting on some links for up front and larger brackets for the rear. It should transform how both our cars handle

Keep up the good work!

Thank you Justin!

New diff bushing pressed in!



Now it's ready to go back under, hopefully I get time tomorrow!

Well, it's been a long couple days on the Audi, I managed to strip out 6 bolts and the threads on the CV shaft for the hub bolt. Needless to say a 30 minute job turned into a two day affair. :(

But... today after work was really nice to come home, paint up the calipers and end my day like this.

[brianspillner]

I was tired and planned on going to sleep, but damn I'm glad I spent the last 30 min. reading this thread. Keep up the great work!

[85oceanic]

Thanks guys! Dan I will throw a wheel on it for ya tomorrow and take some pictures!

[85oceanic]

[Kliminati]

That looks freakin sweet

so obviosly you giving up ebrake function?......or are you adding a master cylinder to the lever?

[pilihp2]

oh wow that's purdy...

[loxxrider]

[85oceanic]

Thanks guys!!! It's soooo nice to finally see some of the fruits of my labor!

Justin, my plan is to run a seperate mechanical E-brake, somthing like what an R8 does. I thought about running a hydro ebrake, but I don't think I have enough faith in it to simply depend on that for my parking needs. I posted the a couple pages back with a linky to the caliper I am going to use. I just can't afford to do this all at once.
