    That is what I was getting at. The bushes are the very same, but the inserts are different.
    Superflex use stainless inserts, Superpro use plated.
    Mr Superflex once told me which company he uses to make some of the inserts. I guess corrosion is not as big an issue in Australia.
    So in some cases it's Superflex FTW, but not in this case

          You could get one made up here just as I have done, but shipping might be a deal breaker.

                  I must admit the paint was B grade and scratched off easy, so I dropped it off at a local powder coater for a new finish

                    Pat, have you got this fitted yet? and any plans for getting a 28mm front made up? Be interested in a RS2 rep bar

                      Not fitted yet, it'll be a while till I do as the whole underbody is stripped and will be given a birthday along with new lines. I'm going to see how it goes with the standard front bar for starters and decide then if a 28mm would be better

                        The Whiteline has that problem too. I'm just letting mine catch some rust and then I'm sanding it and painting it with some proper 2 component paint.
                        I'm watching your topic with interest: Keep up the good work.

                          Is it possible to fit front sway bar (stabilizer) from S4/RS4 B5 into B4 as it can be done with the rear ? Did anybody try this ?

                            Front suspension is a totally different design so it wont fit.

                              Thanks for verifying this to me.
                              I know that B5 has multi-link suspension at the front but thought about stabilizer 'what if...'
                              Is there any known aftermarket manufacturer who makes front stabilizer for B4 ? Or could be fitted from other model ?
