My Audi A6 Rear Anti-Sway Bar Modification

Having waited for quite a while, I finally got round to fitting on the rear H&R anti-sway bars for my Audi. Fitting on the anti-sway bar was relatively easy. Just remove the nuts on the exhaust and the stock bar comes off and the replacement is fitted on quite easily.

Placed side by side, the H&R bar (above) is obviously much thicker than the stock bar (below) and much heavier too.

True to form, the H&R bar fitted perfectly without any problems. The H&R bar came with 2 settings to attach to the struts. The outer pair of holes provided a softer setting and presumably a little more comfortable. Naturally, I picked the inner (and stiffer) setting. I wanted to see how it worked first and if it proved to be too uncomfortable, I could always move the setting to a softer one.

The finished result looks great!

Initial impressions after two days of driving were very satisfying. Even with the stiffer setting, ride comfort was not too badly affected. It was much more obvious on uneven road surfaces but take a corner fast or slow and it was easy to forget about the slight penalty in comfort. The car now corners flat with little body roll and I could take turns at much higher speeds with confidence. This was certainly a big grin inducing factor. I intend to keep the current setting for a week or two before adjusting to the softer setting to try it out for another couple of weeks. Once I have tried both settings, I intend to fit on the front anti-sway bars and see how it settles. Watch this space.
