Default Something I realized...

My buddy just bought a 2000 A4, and I was looking it over. I see that his rear swaybar looks WAY smaller then mine (I have never upgraded it)

So I am thinking I have an aftermarket/upgraded rear swaybar on my car (from one of the previous owners)

I measured the swaybar and its .75" , which equates to ~19MM. The same size as a nuespeed. I dont see any neuspeed branding or any other branding on it. I did notice the bushings were dark red (I have had to lube them up)

Also the swaybar ends have 2 holes (for adjustability ?) Its on the farthest one out (loosest?)

Anyone have any insight?

hmmm, well i know sport fronts are same as aftermarkets (I dont have sport package) is there way to check to see if the front bar is hollow?

Are the fronts adjustable? I havent checked that. I wonder what swarbar has 2 holes and maroon bushings... also, the hole closer to the outside is that stiffler or loser?

I just checked and yea, the front only has 1 hole, but I see most aftermarket ones are the same way. The only products i see are nuepspeed the even resembles my swaybar ,but the bushings on neuspeeds are RED , maybe they got darkers as the months/year went on?

I still need an answer to which is stiffer. the outside hole or the inside???

Being that a swaybar is 100-200+ $$ this is making me happier!
