Good post, tho don't forget who posted it....  :).  I put forth my position
on RSB a long time ago, the summary of which is: you guys are playing at the
wrong end of the stick.  For a better handling urs car, or just about *any*
quattro, put a bigger front bar on first.   The biggest problem with RARB is
once the tire leaves the ground, your Trg will decrease towards 0, since a
torsen allocates based on the traction of the worst wheel.  So a whole bunch
of nice O drift, then the wheel lifts, or you exceed traction, output goes
forward, OR toward 0.  Once that happens, a big dose of U is coming your way.

Look at what audisport does in the race cars.  Few of them ever had rear
swaybars, for good reason.  Actually many of them don't have fronts either,
but when you do see them, they are almost always bigger than what came from
the factory.

This is nothing new, ck the early main list archives.

22mm doesn't work on the rear of the neu S4's even with race suspension on
the lightest setting. We tried it on Prestige's one-lap car. We tried it on
Norm Babcocks NASA car... same result. The dog won't hunt. The car's are not
disimilar.

It's too big guys.
