First "OFFICIAL" mod...
Well, all I can say is that I have got the coolest 
best friend anybody could have. I just got a set of Hotchkis Sway bars for the 2000 A4 as a friggin gift... Looks like I have a weekend project now. Just when I thought the perma- 
couldn't get any better...
Looks to be a fairly straight forward install but does anybody have any experience instructions that I should be aware of...
I will be taking photos of the install and will post some mod pics when I am done...
Holy crap I cant believe it... And I am going to the track in September. Gonna be an awesome time...

P.S.
To my buddy Derald, if you visit the forum... YOU ARE AWESOME BRO!!!!
(He drives an STi, but dont hold that against him)

That's awesome! Did he parted out his C5 or something becuase that's a weird item to have lying around waiting for a good home... Good luck on the install, there's a set of directions here somewhere on the forum with specific torques for the bolts!

You never 
let work interfere with Mods...................you evidently didn't read the posting rules have you? Now go ask your friend to put the mods on for you so you can work at a job that is more important then staying home, calling in sick,
and modding your Vette........................eeeesh kids nowadays.
