Default Sway bar Question

Hey i Am currently looking at the neuspeed rear sway bar for the 99 audi a4 FWD MAN and it doesnt come with the metal support brackets so would any one know where to find these brackets?


EDIT: these brackets are so the sub frame does not crack or break bc im upgrading to 25mm

Do you mean the steel endlinks, which bolt the bar to the hubs? If so, check www.purems.com - pretty sure they have them.

Nope those are different. I don't recall who has them but do a search for "sway bar" - there was a thread not long ago about aftermarket bars and someone had them in that thread.

Gotcha. Everyone I hang with has quattro so I'm not sure what differences there are but honestly I don't see you needing them. You're bolting a metal bar to a metal frame, but the mounts adjacent to the stressed part of the bar (the endlinks) are plastic. If something is gonna give out, I'd bet it'd be the 5" plastic endlink before the steel subframe.
