[s-cars] Couple rookie urS4 questions

[Mark Rivera]

That's good to have a datapoint on an ideal diameter, but equally important
is the lever arm length of the bar itself, as well as where to mount it on
each control arm.  Being a total noob at urS4's, there could already be
mounting points for a swaybar on the rear control arms and chassi, but I
didn't see any when I looked for them the other day.  Did Audi leave them on
after '92?  Again, I've only been under the car once.

  Scott Justusson a while back suggested to me that if you could have one
made, about 32mm would be right. The problem is getting someone who will fab
a sway bar that is structural to the suspension- bigtime liability issues
there.

    Rumour has it that a "tuner" is considering making a larger rear bar for
the
    C4 if there is enough interest.

    Are you suggesting the Avant front sway bar which is 28 mm vs 26 mm for
the
    sedan? Or something bigger?
