R32 Rear Swaybar

[pansy]

Hi guys,
I've been looking around for aa aftermarket rear swaybar for my R32 and other than having one custom made or pay in excess of $500 I can't seem to find one in Australia. I know that I can get one from ECS but would prefer to at least try and purchase one in Aus. If aynoe can let me know where they got theirs from I'd much appreciate it

Check what Whiteline have to offer.

Also check what Dub Addiction and Rennenhaus are selling.

I believe the Aus market cars came with a 16mm rear bar to begin with, matched to a 19mm front bar. Be aware that if you upgrade one and not the other, you"ll change the balance of the car.

Thanks Manaz, I spoke to whiteline and was told they haven't made one for the R32, he suggested that I have one made. Will check out those two sites, thanks for those. Also, have picked up a 26mm front bar so thought it best to have a rear in before putting the front to prevent too big a shift in handling.

Thanks again for your help.

Do the H&R ones. It's the only real option to make sure it is done properly. By the matched pair also so it's done properly. I'm sure an Australian H&R distributor would be able to get you the set but I wouldn't be expecting value for money.

Cheers for that Trent. I've already bought a 26mm Eibach front bar from Jay so just looking for something to match it in the rear. It looks like I'll probably go with the 22mm Neuspeed rear bar from DBC. If anyones got any experience with these bars or any other thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jared, I got the coilovers in! I had a rattle gun anyway!
Rides much better!

i took her on a old pac run last night... soooo much grip, i ended up getting the pirelli corsas as well. phenomenal car. don't think i need sway bars!

good luck with your hunt on the sway bars.

Great to hear Justin. Even with the low treadware rating the corsas are lasting pretty well, would suggest switching from front to back regularly. With the swaybars, after being in Dads GTI my car seems to roll a fair bit compared to his and his ride is pretty special. When I get the swaybars in we should meet up for a comparo, would be good to see what sort of difference it makes.
