    Point taken Dub boi, and it kinda makes sence. The GTi I fitted them to comes for adjustment tomorow, so I'll reposition the links, see what he thinks.

    Mischa, good question, solid they are, but what are they made of. I will check with H&R and let you know. I know they use SiCr54 (SciliconChromium) for the springs, but I never bothered to ask about the Sways. Will let you know

    if its all the same material (which id bet it is) then may as well just go for the fattest ones hehe.

    how'd you go with the sway bars?

    its been known that the front sway bar is a real bitch to fit on the mkv.

    i was looking at a rear sway myself but the thought of taking a bend and the rear giving way on a sharp turn and slamming straight into a concrete barrier on the hwy.....hmm

    It isn't that difficult to fit the front or the rear sway on MK5... It is important to do it on the hoist. Front sub frame has to be lowered a bit, at the same time supported with jack. Front comes out in no time. After the New sway is in place it is critical to line up the subframe, and fit it in exact same position, otherwise, it will be near imposible to get the wheel alignement done correctly.

    Rear sway is even easier to do. 4 torx bolts in and out.

    Wheel alignement comes next, and than road test

    And to answer Mischas question. Not sure what material other manufacturers use, H&R swaybars are produced by using a proprietary alloy that is stronger and more resilient than the original stabilizer bars. At the same time H&R use exclusive composite bushings which eliminate squeeks and according to H&R, never need lubrication

    Neuspeed are good quality fitted them up to Golf GTI the other day easy to install no hassels. H&R also another good product i fit them all the time being a mech myself.
