swaybars

What product do you recommed Wise one?

[Golfwise]

This started out as a mk4 / swaybar discussion I thought and that Australian Whiteline products were worthy of using.
They have been in business since the 1960s so why wouldn't they be worth support .
No I doubt they make bars for a mk2 but then again there was only 290 mk2s sold here One would commit business suicide if they went into mk2 Golf swaybar production in Australia.
Another good example are springs.Why import when local ones are up to the same job and cheaper ?

[syncro]

They do make Golf 2 swaybars as I was involved with the design and see how they work.

Buy the Eibach or Neuspeed.

Y'know... It's a pity that no hard data exists on swaybars. (Does it? Have I failed to find it or have I been looking in the wrong place?) Seems to me that much of the discussion has been based on anecdotal observation. I'd like to see some explanation or reasoning behind opinion. Might stop people slanging at each other
When you fit an after market part (or infact any new part) to an old car it's difficult to assess and impossible to measure its effectiveness over all cars as there are just so many variables! In the case of swaybars these would include: tyres, springs, shockies, how much rigidity the body has lost as it aged, and many more.

Yeah you are right Brackie. I`d like to see lots of different bars fitted to the same car, with some timed circuit laps on each product. That would be the definative answer. Otherwise there are too many variables.

personally i'll just be getting a whiteline as i know of a few people with them and they havn't said anything bad about them.

$200 compared to $400... i think ill pay $200 thanks.

It will go well with my Sach Shocks and Spax springs which cost me $575 all up haha

[vee_dub]

haha cool
i am getting a whiteline sway bar too..

wannna buy together? hehehhe soo would it be cheaper only 2 men buying from whiteline?

was looking at the whiteline application list and it seems they are only doing a 22mm one for mk3s from what i could gather. Most of the other decent branded ones are usually 25 or 28mm

what ever you do don't get Whiteline sway bars for your VW.

They have no R&D for vw's

You should see the crap they make for the MKI.

Dude, you are FOS...





The bar on the rear of my car is fine, equal to any other bar I have used. It should be said that the strongest setting on the adjustable is 'extereme' and I use it backed off neutral handling on the second setting and oversteer bias on the third setting.
