Im thinking of just getting a back sway bar what is better front or back?
lol no. rear sway bar since the back end is more likely to go out on you since its FWD.10bv01 said:i would think front, its a front wheel drive car, thats my opinion though i dont know the facts about it
alfOverkill is the wrong word.
For what improvement a better rear bar alone will make, bumping up the front bar too will more than likely bring the car back to where it was with the stock bars. Does that make sense?
1 + 1 = 2 and 1 / 1 = 1
2 + 2 = 4 but 2 / 2 = 1
2 + 1 = 3 while 2 / 1 = 2
You're not looking for the sum of all parts, but the product.![]()
I know this is an old thread, but how does it feel with the rear sway bar? Any improvement? Anyone else running sway bars?blackgti06 said:getting my neuspeed rear sway bar put on today at 330 ;D
I drove the project car at my shop. It did not have the rear sway bar but did have a few other things I would consider before the sway bar.scans007 said:yeah the GTI has some understeer, to counter that I'll be geting a rear sway in the near future so I'd also love to hear some feed back from peeps that have them install.
I just purchased a H&R 24mm rear sway bar, will try to install it this weekend and let you know what I think afterward. It was $215 plus shipping here: http://www.parts4vws.com/catalog/product_detail.asp?PartNumber=71750.24kryptonkid07 said:What's the stock sway bar size? I'm thinking about making this my next mod before the chip but after my springs. What would be a good size and what's the cheapest but good quality I can find?
The stock sway bar was slightly smaller than the H&R 24 mm, but the H&R is much heavier. I think I read somewhere that stock is 22 mm. I haven't had it out to test it yet, but I'll give it a good test tomorrow.kryptonkid07 said:What's the stock sway bar size?

Thanks NV... Definitely let me know how it goes. I'm going to install my springs today... hopefully! A friend of mine says he can do it for me at work. He works at a BMW dealership and installs springs all the time. He's only going to charge me 40 bucks plus filling up his tank.NVGTI said:I just purchased a H&R 24mm rear sway bar, will try to install it this weekend and let you know what I think afterward.
