sway bars are hands down one of the best mods on older Audis

[@HunterDirection]

They really are! Completely changes confidence in a corner. Thank you for the support!

I’ve really been enjoying the videos. I’m glad I found your channel (from the person I assume gave you the Les Schwab jacket)

[@HunterDirection]

Haha that's great. He has been telling me he has been showing the channel to people. I am glad to hear you have been enjoying the videos!

[@DustySteel]

Awesome video!!

[@HunterDirection]

Thank you a ton!

[@DustySteel]

@@HunterDirection of course!! Be cautious of lowering your car too low, the upper control arms can hit the inner fender and they can hit where they’re mounted. I have 15” rims though so my car can probably go lower then the S4. I think you had replaced your upper control arms already, I ended getting adjustable ones. JUST Engineering makes a pretty cool angle kit for anyone wanting to replace everything lol.

[@HunterDirection]

@@DustySteel Thank you for the warning! Hmm maybe it will be best in that case to wait until my adjustable arms are here to throw on the coilovers. Ill have to play around with the fitment to see what works best. I don't want to slam the car or anything. I want to lower it just enough to get the benefits of the coilovers without making it undrivable. The stock suspension is pretty shot haha.

[@DustySteel]

@@HunterDirection you’re welcome. I would definitely wait because you’ll need to disconnect the upper control arms anyways. The whole assembly is meant to be taken out as one from the top of strut tower in the engine bay. It can be done without taking everything off but it’s easier to do it all in one. There’s also an annoying clip on the underside of the tower that is easier to just cut off and not be put back on.🤣 My car isn’t slammed but looks really good with the 15” which is too low. I’m going to get bigger wider wheels and raise my car up more then it is now. That’s what I liked about Solo Werks, they can go -/+ 3”.

[@DustySteel]

@@HunterDirection plus an alignment after all helps!👍

loving b5 content! hopefully one day youll have somewhere indoors so you dont have to battle mother nature lol

[@HunterDirection]

Haha yeah I hope so too! I am glad to hear you are enjoying the content. Thank you for the support!

[@twoninedaniel]

I have a question, when you tuned the car did it at all raise the idle rpms? I bought my s4 with a tune already on it and the idle is a bit high but it is a smooth idle which rules out a clogged injector, bad coilpack/spark plug (they have been upgraded to the 2.0 conversion) and from what I hear a vacuum leak can cause a high idle but it would be a bit choppy. I heard somewhere that a tune can raise the idle but I cannot find much information on it.

Been there at the parts yards lol. Rain sucks

[@4RingsRetro]

I have the H&R kit for my B6. I wasn't going to put the front bar on. But maybe you recommend I put the rear on the stiffest setting and the front on the softer? That will reduce my understeer? I was only using the rear to do just that!

[@HunterDirection]

Hmm that's a good question. I primarily replaced mine because it was starting to rust out and I wanted a good foundation going forward. I will reply again after a bit more seat time with the new setup and better impressions. So long as the rear is relatively stiffer than the front it will help with rotation. It's also a pretty easy swap so you could always try it since you have the part already. Someday I'll pick up a b6 s4 haha. They are awesome cars. Thank you for the support!

[@claudiutudorache2296]

off topic, what color code is it?

[@HunterDirection]

The car was originally santorin blue, but I wrapped it in VVivid Sonoma Green. Thank you for the support!

[@SnAkESkULLz34]

How many miles is on your s4?

[@HunterDirection]

The car has around 145k. It's been around a bit haha.

[@SnAkESkULLz34]

@@HunterDirection not too bad, I enjoy your content just came across and it thinking about restoring my noggy s4. Only thing is i know the ko3s are bad and the car has a little bit more mileage. Lowkey wanna go to ko4s and maybe hit 400whp
