Default Next Project - Rear Sway Bar

OK. I'm convienced. I want to upgrade my rear sway bar. I've done some install research. It looks pretty straight forward. Has anyone come across any install issues I need to know, or watch for?
What is the best bar? Neuspeed 19mm or the H&R 21mm Adjustable Rear Sway Bar. Thanks.

even though i havent done it, im pretty sure its a very easy 30-60minute job.... both of those will leave your car at about neutral so its just up to you based on price or brand or however you make your decision

I would go with the H&R 21mm Rear sway bar. It comes with lined bushings which are maintanance free whereas the Neuspeed bushings will have to be lubed once in a while to avoid
creaking and noises.

I don't think I have a factory swaybar back there...is it possible to retrofit one anyway?

What's RSQ stand for? Or is that a typo of RSB?

Damn, 25mm is a beefy bar. I saw a Neuspeed 19mm for the FWD on Tcarbon.

just checked that out. first 19mm I've seen.

I've always seen 20+ and like I said only remember 25 and up.

I think the fwd needs a much larger rsb to achieve that nuetral feeling.

we have more understeer than the awd cars with both wheels moving. For beach, go 19mm for a more subtle upgrade and 21mm for a little more rearend movement.

i have the h&r 21mm on my quattroand love it. it was a very easy install (about 30min. total) and made a huge difference- my girlfried even noticed... the cheapest place that i found it was here:
