mk4 gti rear sway bar

[audi-tone]

i went through burson automotive at brendale,
give em a call, i may have got lucky, who knows. $250 is still a good price though

ps, fitted it today, shall see how it goes, feels more responsive around corners, a bit more planted on the road i guess you would say. thinking about the front swaybar now.
question, if i get the front swaybar would that mean the original comes off and i wont have to replace the factory bushings that are wearing out?!?

Hey guys, I've just read through this and several previous threads about rear sway bars as I'm looking at this for my car.

I can't really justify paying an extra $200-300 for Neuspeed or H&R after reading on here - it's a daily drive not a track car so Whiteline adjustable seems to be the consensus as a good all-round unit.

I came across another Aust-based brand, 'Selby', but haven't heard of them before. Oettinger also have a kit but I'm not sure if that's one of the other brands re-badged or not.

Hopefully I'm on the right track! Audi-tone & others, any follow up comments to this?
Cheers

my mate has a 28mm neuspeed for sale its been on the car 3 months hes gone back to stock wants $300.00 for it, its red and bolts up way nicer that the whitline ones. up to you how good you want it.

Did this sell- Further info maybe, hollow/solid etc?

hey dude, the whiteline stuff's great. the car feels 20x more responsive. as i said, i paid $192 for mine which was a bargain considering what others wanted.
good luck with it.

Guys,

I know that this thread is a bit old, but I thought I would say this anyway...

I saw this thread and got a bit excited as I wanted to get the whiteline rear sway, but the lowest quote I got was $252.00. So I gave these guys at Burson a ring and got quoted $250!
I told them that on the forums a guy got one from them for $190, he replied I'll see what I can do, and I now have one on order for an even $200.

Interesting how they lower the price when challenged...

Nice! you can also contact whiteline/redranger directly to cut out the middle man.

I know in dredging up an ancient thread here...
I just picked up a whiteline 22mm non adjustable swaybar from Camden gti and I'm trying to confirm how it bolts on as obviously it has no instructions.

From my understanding the brackets require 4 bolt holes to be drilled into the beam axle and from pictures I am not sure if I need longer hock bolts or if I need a piece of square metal tube to space out another set of mounts from the shock mount if that makes sense.

The newer bars have a clamp with a u bolt around the beam axle which wouldn't work with this bar.

thanks for any info

No holes need to be drilled

2x U-brackets go over the rear axle

Watch this to see how it attaches to the axle... you might need to source parts from whiteline.

Nah this one has different d bush mounts. I'll take a picture tonight
