just on a side note...to change a rear swar bar is really easy. Should not cost you 200!! i think i paid like 70 from the dealer for the RS4 rear sway and then do it yourself.

You can get the OEM RS4 for a bit less than that (Neil@OWASCO gives great pricing - tell him I sent ya if you go this route). Although I still suggest both front and rear h-sports, as an alternative, consider the Hotchkis rear RS4 bar (h-sport) instead of the OEM one as as you'll have the adjustibility and better resale value down the road.

you dont have to go B7, you can go with the B6 RS4 rear sway. I will find out tommorow what i paid for mine but it was definitly not 200. labour they generaly charge 1 hour...75-90 per hour but trust me when i say you can do it yourself.

Huh ? There's no diff between the B6 and B7 RS4 bars ... The S4 bar in the B6 and early B7's was an "S4" bar whereas Audi started using the RS4 rear bar in the 2007 S4's.

I did not know that! I just saw his post saying he priced out a B7 so i figured i would let him know about the B6.

Ummm... just an FYI there is no B6 RS4, they only came in B5(2001) and B7(2005.5 and on)!
