Default Rear Sway Bar...Neuspeed or H&R?

Next on the mods list, RR sway bar.
The Neuspeed is 25mm dia; the H&R is 22mm dia.
The Neuspeed is also $45 more then the H&R.
Can anyone comment on whether the Neuspeed is really $45 better then the H&R?

go for the neuspeed, he has a two settings, stiff or stiffer.........the H&R only has one setting only. but if you're not planning on changing your settings, chose either one.

I can't comment on the H&R, but I have the Neuspeed and it's very nice. On the stiffest setting I can get the rear to slide out if I try REALLY hard. Your days of understeer are gone.

Cheers!

H&R does have two settings and a maintenance free bushing...

Very nice info guys, this to will be my next mod. And i'm leaning towards the Neuspeed.
Here is my question has anyone done a combination rear and front system? Or would that be overkill, (everyday driving)

IMHO, I don't think the front bar is necessary. My car is now so stiff in the corners with no noticeable understeer that it wouldn't help the car corner any better with the front piece. Just do the rear and let me know what you think.

Cheers!

Brian,

You're correct. The car has a black rear sway bar, but it's pretty flimsy compared to the Neuspeed. A night and day difference on cornering with just that as an addition.

Cheers!

If you go neuspeed be sure the buy it from mjmautohaus.com They have it for 239 with free shipping.

I also have the neuspeed and have no complaints. I hear now that you have to use the stock brackets as they do not supply their own anymore.

Edit:

Here's a link to a sway bar discussion. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2929146
