I have never seen an stock Audi, or any other FWD/AWD car, lift an inside front. Now, the inside rear is quite common for FWD, but not as easy for an AWD. A bigger front bar will reduce this segnificantly. The only real draw back from a bigger bar is that it will tend to make the car understeer more (push). But with a little trailing throttle or braking into turns will help combate this problem, yielding a faster cornering car. I ran a 1.25" bar on the front of my 4000Q, wishing for more. ---JCG.
