V6/A6 combo LSD issue.

As this engine/trans combo has no LSD, what is the impact of going to a
stiffer rear sway bar? Improves or makes the traction issues worse?
The understeer can be corrected with a square setup, right? So...…..?

It certainly won't hurt. A square setup will still have some understeer with the stock bars.

I have front and rear BMR sway bars on my v6/m6 and it improved the handling exponentially. I believe the a6 has a different setup but either way it is definitely worth the effort. They're also easy to put in, even on just jack stands. I run a square setup as well and I have little to none understeer. if you have any questions, feel free to DM me as I might be able to help you.

You have a LSD I don't. If you get loose the power goes to the wheel with traction, my open diff continues with 50/50 power split. Its not clear to me
how much more sway bar I can add to the rear. I need to keep both rear tires
planted. Also any concerns regarding the rear caliper bolt hitting the rear bar as the rear breaks ware?

Me again. On the BMR setup are links supplied and if so any drilling needed due to link diameter vs mounting points. Im thinking with a open diff maybe the bigger bars are the way to go until excessive slip angle becomes a problem.
