Project A4

[ScottyB]

If you really want to keep the utility as a people hauler, save the shocks and springs as a last resort.

Well if you put in a good set of shocks, the car will do everything better - and you can just set them on full soft for the daily battle stage. Adding the swaybars will add some roll stiffness as well without hurting ride quality.

i just need it to be "tolerable" on highway drives over 4 hours, because i will be using it to travel long distances to see family/go to awesome tracks up north.

i'm actually not planning on a rear bar for three reasons:

-i think i can get some nice rotation with high rear rates, at least going from what some other audi guys do.
-the A4 is known to tripod through long turns at high g...if i run a rear bar i have a feeling i'll make the rear more prone to lift, which means the lifted tire will spin because of no rear LSD, which means i slow down until it comes back into contact with the road again. i think not running a bar will keep the tire drooped. or should i go for a front bar too, to keep the front from rolling so much and lifting the rear?
-kind of a moot point, but i think the ride quality would really blow over one-wheel bumps with some fat bars on there. oh well.


thanks for the input you guys. tell me if i sound stupid or if i'm making sense.
