    New anti roll bar upgrades???

    I have been looking about for anti roll bars and had a few quotes. The Whiteline seems to be the only RARB out there for the S2 and the RS2 FARB the only one for the front in terms of upgrading. The quotes i had i thought were a bit expensive, the whiteline was not to bad at about £100 and the RS2 bar was abouot £250 So i thought i would contact ESP Engineering who have designed one or two things over on rs246.com for the s4. So far Liam seems to be keen on the idea of develping an alternative anti roll bar upgrade but it depends on interest. Who would be interested in the posibility of getting this going? Im in no way afiliated to them and have never seen there work first hand so i cant comment on the quality etc although from what i saw on rs246.com people seemed happy with the products they had produced. Ill try and get Liam to sin up on here to give more info on what he can do. So what do u think?

    I would like to show interest.

    There may also be interest in a rear strut brace that is shaped so as not to interfere with the luggage space so much.

        wish i'd bought one a few years ago back when they were £100ish....
        i'd defo be interested in upgraded anti-roll bars since the whiteline project seems to have dissolved
        rear brace would be good too......

            I would certainly be interested in anything you find. I've been replacing loads of the front suspension components over the past few weeks and the Anti Roll Bar is next on my hitlist.

                I have sent an email to Liam who will hopefully sign up on here and maybe we can get something going. Im only 20 mins from where they are based so i would be more than happy to be the guinea pig car for the products

                    I'm definately interested in a front bar mate.

                    I think 29 - 30mm ideally if the materials are similar - a bit stiffer than RS2

                        FARB keeps the front flatter but can cause understeer if the rear is still soft. Ideally you upgrade both at the same time.

                        I'm always interested in these sorts of things but as money is something other people have at the mo I'm an observer rather than 'in'

                          so it will make it have more understeer than already.

                          i remember the old "racer" trick of removing the front bar. maybe a better option.

                          with all the solid bits the car handles a lot better but the chassis is still pants on an audi coupe.

                          wish my corrado was 4x4. i would never have bought the audi.
