Audi VW Stabilizer Bar Upgrade - 034Motorsport 0344021003

I would first like to say I am an engineer that is a rear sway bar guy. I think it is the best mod you can get on your car for the $$$. It improves the dynamics so much for very little money. I have installed rear sway bar upgrades on a couple cars I own. To me you would be better off saving your money on high cost performance shocks and struts by buying less expensive model shocks and struts and use that saved money on an upgraded sway bar if you had to choose between the two. For the 2015 Jetta SEL TDI I put this on, I first tried a Whiteline rear sway bar with some adjustable end links and it was clanking so I decided to get rid of that setup and try this with stock end links...that was the best thing I ever did. I have to say this is the best bar for the Jetta if you like to have great dynamic and responsive control over your car on turns and highway driving (more like ultra euro performance or closer to racing feel on corners). It will increase the rough ride, but for me its still smooth enough and not a bothersome. Others may disagree depending on what type of driver or passengers you have in the car. Take into consideration passengers you know will be in the car also and if you have long trips or vacations with the vehicle and those people. It has much better dynamics than the Whiteline due to the thicker bar. However I will say this, I lowered the bar one star to a 4 star rating (and technically would give it 4.5 stars) because I live in Florida and the grease they call for on this bar (Super Lube) constantly has to be put on about once a month in the hot and humid Florida environment and even after the grease I hear the polyurethane bushings with a very small squeak on driveway curbs.... it is not a big deal just annoying. It doesn't squeak on anything but curbs for driveways. In the late fall and winter months it seems to not need greasing though... down in Jacksonville area because we get some cooler weather in North Florida and the humidity and heat goes away. Most readers live in cooler less humid areas and will be in better shape. If you are looking for a rear sway bar to buy, I would get this one again and just reuse the end links you already have on the car (I wouldn't mess with adjustable end links as the stock work perfectly after 1.5 years still with the original end links from the factory and about 52k miles...15k with this bar probably). If the end links wear out, just buy new stock end links upon need with FCP Euro and if those go bad they will send you free ones with the lifetime warranty.

Easy to install, and really like the creature comforts like the grease fitting.

If you are putting this on a daily driver don't waste your time. It makes the ride far too harsh. Installed on my 2017 GLI drove with it for 2 weeks and took it off. worst purchase I have ever made

Virtually the best handling upgrade on the market for the money. If you know how to lift the rear of your vehicle, the rear sway bar has got to be one of the easiest DIY upgrades. Enjoy less body roll, more responsive steering, and easy serviceability with appropriate grease fittings on the shiny new billet RSB mounts!

And have some miles on this part now to see the difference in side to side movement, while still maintaining daily driver status.

Installed on a 2014 Tiguan S with 6spd manual. Prior to installation, Tiguan had excessive roll turning corners, navigating curves and clover leafs. After installation Tiguan really handled corners, curves, and clover leafs in a 'neutral' manner. Tiguan is now steers very predictably with less effort than was previous required. Installation was straight forward. Highly recommend for owners of Tiguans who really like to 'drive' their vehicle.
