If you’re looking to improve the handling of your Audi B9, this is the best place to start! These cars have a lot more body roll than desired, and the stock sway bars don't quite do enough for most owners to be satisfied. Engineered, designed, and tested in-house at ECS Tuning, you know these sway bars are built to last with the highest quality. Larger diameter sway bars have a higher torsional spring rate which helps resist excessive body roll. By eliminating the excessive body roll and changing the stiffness of the sway bars front to rear, we can improve handling characteristics by reducing understeer and keep the tire in full contact with the ground.  By upgrading to the ECS Tuning Adjustable Front Sway Bar, you will experience less body roll, and a massive improvement to the handling characteristics of your vehicle, with virtually no sacrifice in ride quality.  In our testing with both bars installed, we found up to a 1.5° reduction in body roll!  Testing shows a significant and consistent increase in slalom speed of approximately 2 mph. On average there was a gain of ~0.5 seconds through the ~4.5 second total slalom run time. The slalom testing consisted of 5 gates spread 50’ apart. The increased stiffness gives the car a much more stable feel and allows the driver to stay consistent and in control: The sway bars are also adjustable, and allow for a “softer” setting, or a “stiffer” setting, depending on your driving preferences.

Adjustable sway bar end links allow you to lower your car without worrying about clearance issues between your sway bar and axles. As a vehicle is lowered, the sway bar and axle geometry is changed and can result in the sway bar contacting the axles and/or other components during suspension travel. The ECS Tuning Front Adjustable Sway Bar End Link Set allows for just under 2" of adjustability over the OEM component, allowing you to fine tune the suspension to your liking.  The main body is constructed from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and anodized red for corrosion protection. They feature machined hex wrenches at either side for easy on the car adjustments. Zinc black chromate lock nuts and wave washers secure the center body length to maintain adjustment height. Gray zinc coated heavy duty ball joint ends complete the connection from the sway bar to the chassis. The ball joint end includes weather resistant rubber boots with stainless steel wire retainers with the opposing side containing a red polyurethane bushing for added deflection resistance and extended durability against salt, rain and ozone impact.  Our ECS Sway Bar End Links were designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We ensured the highest level of precision and quality is delivered throughout rigorous long term product testing and leading edge product development methods. These are a must have for lowered suspensions or make for a high quality, heavy duty OE-replacement upgrade for stock suspensions. No matter if you're stock or lowered these can adjust to fit your needs.  They will not only stay looking great but give an improved feel over stock bushings. Instead of buying parts over and over, our kit allows you to use it on a stock vehicle now, and a modified car later.   **Please note, once desired length is set please add a few drops of blue Loctite to the threads of the jam nut to maintain a secured position.
