I htink i was reading somewhere that if the springs are red they are the sport then? Its a 2004 6speed if that helps at all.
Yup red means sport but I thought it was the shocks not springs. I should know because I had a 2004 USP but don't remember. All MT's were 6 speeds starting in 2004 so this doesn't really mean anything other than you have the "right" transmission !

I'm pretty sure I can tell you if you post up a pic ... major wheel gap or SUV look = non-sport

Frankly, I suggested the H-sports (S4 version) because the turn-in is far better with the stiffer front bar versus just using a stiffer rear. Although the front dials back the oversteer, the benefits outweigh this IMHO.

Here is a pic of the car....i hate the wheel gap so im guessing i dont have the sport. Good thing im looking to change all of that.

Now with the sway bars, could i not go with the both S4 or both RS4 (front and rear) providing the RS4 front actulay fit. I dont think it would be recomended to put the RS in the rear and S in the front. should probably stay with the same stiffness through out. Now the S4 sway bars should fit both front and back with no modifications. correct me if im wrong...

Holly Allroad !! j/k Yup that's non-sport.

You could go with the OEM S4 bars or S4 front and RS4 rear but I believe that the H-sports will provide a more noticeable improvement in handling. Due to being hollow, they're stiffer and lighter ... are you asking because the OEM bars may cost a bit less ?

FYI, the S4 and A4 sport front bars are the same and the S4 rear is larger/ stiffer. Not sure about the RS4 front bar compared to the others but the rear is larger and stiffer than the S4.

hahah, so im not the only one who hates the wheel gap on these stupid 16inch rims. Now with the H-sport, are they a dealer issued item, or who makes them??

Nope they're not from dealers. H-sports = Hotchkis Sport Suspension - A4 02-07 B6/B7 and can be purchased in Canada. I purchased my B6 A4 set from Independant Tuning: H-Sport Sport Sway Bars

I think it was approx $500. Now that our dollar is stronger, I wonder if the price has come down as the kit can be purchased in the US for $392.

We should talk to Bryan @ IT and see if he'll cut us a deal on 2 sets !
