Default Bigger front sway bar wanted

Hi,

I looked around but neither 928Ms nor 928GT are still offering their bigger front sway bars in OEM shape.
I like the 928MS ultimate sway bar but as far as I understood it is interfering with the OEM starter and you therefore need the 928MS race starter in addition.
I don't need a starter, mine is working fine and I don't want to spend over 700$ for a combo where I only have the real need for one item.
So , who is still selling bigger front sway bars for the S4 or is somebody here in the forum selling me a used one ?

Would be glad to get some feeback.

Thanks
Stefan

Stefan, if you are looking to cure understeer a bigger front bar will just make it WORSE! You need a bigger rear bar or the Ott adjustable rear lower sway bar links (that is the best, easiest, cheapest way) if you want the car to turn better. Maybe you are looking for something else...if you get the heavier bar you will need to reinforce the mounting bracket location...the big bars always break the mount.

Best of luck!

Hi James,

reinforcement of the bracket already done. I wnat to buy the 928MS
adjustable rear lower sway bar links and I want a bigger sway bar also.
Car is not understeering but i want to get rid of the side movement.

Cheers

I beleive Carl at 928MS is the only vendor selling a stiffer front sway bar. 928 Specialists used to sell them, but are not currently carrying them.

Hypercoil 600/400 springs get rid of body roll pretty well.
