[V8] 28mm front sway bar

[Ben Howell]

I have experience here, so I'll chime in as best I can...

Part# 441-411-309-H is the 28mm bar for a V8 and it is, to this day, a valid USA part number. So, while there may not be stock in a US depot, any dealer SHOULD be able to order it for you. I have ordered several of them over the years (and currently have one on my 200 20v), but it has been 2-3 years since my last order, so it could have gone NLA over here. Sunset Audi says that they are ~$180.00.

Additionally, DO NOT forget to order the subframe brackets and inner bushings. They ARE different! The inner bracket is part number 441-411-336-D and Sunset says ~$63/ea (X2). The inner bushing is part number 441-411-327-A and they are ~$11/ea (x2).

As for the C4 Chassis: No, this sway bar for the V8 will not fit those cars. It will fit 200's and 5000's though.
