I got a Neuspeed bar, it's adjustable, so that way, you can either go with the stiffer grip or the looser grip, it really does the job very well, especially when you go on canyon runs.

I have a Neuspeed RSB sitting in the garage right now. Nam - did you do the install yourself? Can you do it without ramps/stands? Any necessary tools? ok, final question... how frequently do you relube yours (no jokes please...

). Thanks!

I did the install on mine. All you need to do is jack up both sides. THe only special tool you'll need is a set of internal wrenches and a torque wrench

No need to relube unless you start hearing squeaks from the polyurethane holders.

RE: rear sway opinions/install

how hard is it to re adjust the neuspeed? also, the only DIY i've seen was someone putting this on a vw gti 337, in his instructions (which were quite nice and detailed), he said something about having trouble getting the top brackets to bolt, NAM, if u would please, check out the link and STEP TEN and let me know if u ran into a similar problem. thanks!

sorry, can't help you there, i didn't install it myself, i had the shop install it for me, with a $30,000 car, i don't wanna take a risk and do something stupid and screw up my car.

the swaybar install is pretty straightforward...

you do need jackstands tho, because i think one of the steps becomes a bit easier if you jack up one of the wheels

RE: rear sway opinions/install

that's cool, but can i ask where you bought it and how much you paid? i was reading over in fourtitude and someone that bought it recently commented that they cheapened the kit and no longer includes the aftermarket bracket holders. just wondering if you got them or not and at what price. thanks.

i got it through Group 5 motorsports in SD, they did the install for me also, and since they're installing it, they usually give me a 10% off, and yeah, i got the brackets with it too.
