    What have you done to your Gen2 Tiguan today?

    Sorry just reread so whiteline might be ****.. the 034 one looks good. Rough price, best place to get?

    Any mechanics can fit it? I have no driveway or garage.

    Also what’s the drop on the eibach

    Not sure if the upgraded front sway bar is really required. I think the stock one already is fairly stiff. Also it’s a PITA to install and needs to be done in a hoist in a workshop.

    Rear only sway bar with springs should be a nice change?

    Right so got out on the drive with the verniers and the stock sway bars are 25mm front and 22mm rear.

    Which is probably why people aren’t recommending the 22mm Whiteline bar (they also make a 24mm one).

    I ordered mine through AutoInstruct as they had a deal on it at the time.

    Got it installed through my mechanic as I don't have a garage or driveway either.
    I can't quote you the labour cost because I also had my Racingline lower engine mount and dogbone mount swapped out for OEM and had an 034 insert added, so it was costly (but worth it).

    How're you finding the 034 dogbone in terms of additional noise/vibration?

    There's no noise or vibration with the insert.
    I made the mistake of going full race mode with the Racingline lower engine mount and pendulum mount. Everything vibrated on idle, it was horrible.
    Now I've got zero vibrations or noise with none of the drivetrain movement.

    What are you trying to achieve?

    No point upgrading the front anti roll bar (often called a sway bar) as the Tiguan naturally understeers, increasing the front one will induce more understeer.

    Upgrading the rear one will make the car turn better, however if you go too thick you'll risk the chances huge oversteer OR lift off oversteer if driven in anger.
