[s-cars] Re: 26mm rear swaybar

[Graydon D. Stuckey]

I'll concurr with Scott & Salinas212,

I have a '92 S4 with the rear bar, and so far, I have had nothing but
oversteer.  I'd be inclined to remove it if I did anything.  That would
delete some weight in the process which is always a good thing with an S4.

Later,
