Neuspeed, Hotchkis, or H&R for Jetta?

[stephen8512]

I've been looking up some sway bars that are available for the mkV jetta

The H&R sway bar has a 26mm front and 24mm rear
The Hotchkis has a 27mm front and rear and is adjustable
The Neuspeed has a 25mm rear sway (not sure if there is a front sway available)

just wondering if any MKV jetta/golf owners have this on their cars and if they do, why they went for the brand they got..... im leaning more towards the hotchkis as its adjustable....

what's ur thoughts?

Neuspeed have both front and rear available for the MKV Jetta

both are 25mm, 3-position adjustable

h&r have 28mm for the front and 26 for the rear i think. im gonna get them as they're the biggest and most monstrous

I have Neuspeeds front and rear on my MK3 and highly recommend them, very happy with them.

H&R's have two different options of sway bars for Jetta Type 1KM

# 33258-1... 26mm front and 22mm rear - adjustable on two positions front and rear

# 33258-2... 28mm front and 24mm rear - adjustable on two positions front and rear

Neuspeed are also adjustable only on two positions, we fitted a set to a GTi last friday. Nice product, good quality finish.

Hope this helps with your choice. All are very similar in design so it really comes down to personal choice, and for sure price. In any case they are a worthy mod. I had #33258-2 on my MK5 TDi and have to say, incredible improvement.

is hotchiks the brand?

[mtm tcca]

very quick, and very clever, ... but in his question its spelled as Hotchkis.. I'd go for the Hotchiks

[rennenhaus]

3-position adjustable as explained by Neuspeed

position 1


position 2


position 3




Can't forget about the Eibach set as well (26mm front / 23mm rear)

neuspeed - tubular, mandrel bent, aerospace-quality steel, machined ends, polyurethane bushings
