    I got them from GSA Suspension at Slacks Creek, i can't remember the price but they were more expensive than the KWs.

    That will look really good with that amount of drop.
    I think i might have to! What brand of sway bar did you get?

    I have a good thing going with Luke at autoinstruct, he is very open for group buys.

    They do front and rear H&R for 800$, group buy would obviously get some $$ off

    I'm new to changing sway bars for road cars, so open to all feedback.

    Adjustable would be nice, ie road/track setting.

    Let us know what bars/spec you have

    Changed my oil this morning, the new 2.0 EA888 3.0 has the lamest sump plug I have ever come across!
    It's a plastic bung, easily removed with a large flat blade screw driver and is located only by a small plastic tang which takes very little torque to overcome
    Not overly filled with confidence having spent years of changing oil with a proper torqued metal plug and copper crush washer

    Aren't those plastic sump plugs supposed to be renewed every fill?

    Plug was marked from the last time it was removed (dealer service) and will be going to the dealer for its next yearly service in approx 2.5 months so will keep an eye on it

    +1 for KW
    I had the V2 on my Caddy Maxi, having tried other options on an older Caddy, they were much better.
    Prestige and Performance supplied them, they probably fit more VW suspension than anyone else in town
    They also did V2s on my Caravelle

    I won't have a problem replacing it, providing they are as cheap as a crush washer
    If they are $15 upwards words will be said
