    Few pics of my old Neuspeed adjustable rear swaybar.

    The hardest part is making the brackets that hold the swaybar to the rear beam and the bushes used inbetween them.
    Mine was adjustable, hence the figure 8 adjustable links. You could make one without them and just use a longer bottom strut bolt to hold it in place.

    Hope these pics are of some help/use

    You should not have sold your sway bar Lorenz.

    thanks dude that helps heaps did that make much of a difference?
    i would of thought a bar across the top of the strut towers would be more affective?

    Sway bar made a bigger difference than suspension in my car. I'd recommend it bigtime.

    James, I wish I didnt sell it

    It made a huge difference. Really tighten ups the rear end of the car. Sits flatter on the road and cornerd better.
    As for a rear strut brace, I have one sitting right next to me ready to go on. If your keen on one, shoot me a PM

    I had a rear stress bar in my vr6 for a while. Massive inconvenience cos it stops you from fitting big stuff in the boot.
    Never really noticed much difference either to be honest.

    Rear swaybar actually makes a nice difference to the balance of the car. If you dont have one of those id suggest looking into it.
