    rear sway bar

    ok... a barrage of questions. everything i've read has told me a rear sway bar will improve my handling, so:

    does anyone here know where i can source rear sway bars from in adelaide? (still unknown which one to get - just trying to find who stocks them)
    is it cheaper to buy from interstate/overseas? also where can i get one installed around here?

    Thanks guys...

    You can order a whiteline one through your local autobarn pretty easily and they are quite easy to fit. Will probably set you back between $2-300

    If you wanted to get a neuspeed one you could try Ian from Rennenhaus. I'm not sure on the pricing of them.

    Thanks, sounds alright
    I’ll try them, other than autobarn, does anyone know any other places I can ask?
    I asked a parts supplier here, and he offered my a used neuspeed 28mm one for $490
    And I’d still have to find someone to install it (don’t have the necessary tools/space to do it myself)

    Although he did offer me an o-bar for less – no idea what that is yet though

    And still need to research the differences between sizes/brands too… it sounds like 28mm is the standard size lots of people seem to have…

    Neuspeed RSB has gained highest reputation in Internet forum, but prepare to pay at least double $$ of Whiteline. IMO it not worth the extra money, everybody got Whiteline RSB are very happy.

    btw install RSB isn't much harder than changing tyres.

    Which whiteline bar did you guys get?
    Is there a range to choose from? Ive just been browsing their site, there seems to be just one kit for the mkiv, a 22mm adjustable bar, is this the correct one? if so it should make it easier when I’m ordering it at least 

    Cheers..

    Unless you have an R32 in which case you need to drop the entire exhaust system including dropping the exhaust shield.
