The Z is a pain in the ass engine bay, but doesnÔÇÖt come close to this

And I have been dumb enough to own two of them and do a complete engine rebuild on one of them. No more V12s!!!
Scotty, I don't know if this helps at all, but I am very happy with the setup of my a4. I am still learning the car, have bald tires, and have yet to track it, but with the sport suspension, nuspeed rear sway, cross drilled rotors, and decent pads it feels nice. Another thing you should look into is a DTS. A friend with an s4 said the DTS was a more worthwhile mod than even his chip and I like mine as well. Also, if money is a factor, than the sport suspension might get you what you're looking for sooner. As for the rear sway removal, I don't think I would do that. What you said is correct about the rear wheel lifting, but the MUCH bigger problem is the under steer. Like I said, I haven't been on a track with this yet, but pushing it through the corners I have only had all four wheels break traction evenly. No over steer and no under steer.
Like I said I am still getting use to this car(VERY BIG difference from the other turbos) but I hope some of this helps. Good luck with the project.
How's the Industrial Design stuff going?
