    RARB options for the Avant?

    Hi guys

    What options are there for the avant nowadays - Looked on both Whiteline and neuspeed sites and unless me is blind no joy.

    Need to balance out the driving experience

    Cheers

          Any b5 s4 or rs4 bar fits the avant so no it's not the only option

            But the Neuspeed one includes the mounting reenforcing brackets which are important. If you go for a non Neuspeed bar you can buy a copy of the brckets from MRC

                  The RS4 has a larger rear bar if you want to go that route, i'm using the Neuspeed on mine, nice bit of kit and the reinforcement brackets make a lot of sense when you see them installed.

                    Actual part here

                    Great upgrade. Do the front to RS2 at the same time

                        I find it's better without the rs2 bar up front, the bigger the bar the less independant each suspension corner is.
                        I've got a whiteline rear with whiteline rear brackets.

                            Does anyone know the price of the brackets from MRC? I have whiteline rear anti roll bar and it made a massive difference. I run a standard one up front too.
                            Just some finishing touches to do now

                              Don't know the price, but whichever one you use make sure to get and fit the strengthening brackets. When you see them fitted it is very obvious that they are required.

                              The Neuspeed bar is nice and comes complete with the brackets.

                              The Neuspeed one is also adjustable by bolting up the drop links into different holes in the nd of the anti roll bar.

                              NCT Neuspeed.

                              Mine is RS2 front and Neuspeed on the rear, with the four springs softer than std S2 springs as it runs S8 with 225/40/18, and the roads are rough enough.

                              Would love to drive an Avant with RS2 front and a thicker than Neuspeed RS4 rear one with the brackets to see what it's like, but never going to happen over here.

                              In summary, for anyone thinking about it, definitely upgrade the rear one on the Avant to reduce the understeer and take it from there.

                              Cheers.
