I found a used set and the seller says are RS6 sways. Just need to confirm they are in fact RS6 and not just S6 or A6 sways. See pic... Any insight?

These are from the parting RS6 I mentioned in another thread with the Sportec cat-back exhaust. The guy has parted some other C5 platform cars so I cant verify they came from the RS6 he is parting (I trust folks generally, but, I like to know exactly what I am buying!). I'm grabbing the sways as part of a big parts bundle so if they are not really RS6, I can resell them and not be out much $.

I would ask BENMAN as I believe that his car was the test mule for the development of the very first set for the C5 RS6...

Those "blue" ones look like they came from the factory that way but you are gonna need some new bushings and maybe some clamps.
Ask for a photo of the rear clamps as there is a special notch on each for the DRC hard lines.

Thanks Ben. I forgot about the notch. I'll ask for a close up pic of the rear clamp.

Benman, did you see if your sways were the old blue color? NO! Because I'm a dumbass and forgot!

Sorry, I'll set a reminder on the phone so I don't forget again! :cheers:

No, they are VERY DARK BLUE.....I swear...

I dropped my car off for Timing belt service, etc, and new IC.....or I'd go under the car with a better camera and a big flash to photograph it.

Now I am doubting my recollection. I can swear they are dark blue.

When I "Visit" my car tomorrow at the shop I'll take another look...

I'm not color blind....
