Say Bar Q's

[tyke_one]

Does anyone know of an upgraded beefy front sway bar that has a bend in the middle to clear a large downpipe?

herrow ra ra?

sis boom bawww

No, never seen one, generally people make the exhaust fit the car, or spend days building larger tunnels to clear it. (which you can't easily do with the shift linkage in the way.

You could pad the exhaust with fiber glass wrap so it doesn't make too much noise, or you could fix the exhaust to fix properly.

I had no sways when i fit the custom downpipe, looks like i may have to re do the whole thing.

I've seen weird sway bar set ups with the sway bar in front of the control arm mounts. I'm going to try and find pics.

I have a autotech front ARB on my jetta but have the stock down pipe. I have plenty of room right now.

Bar -Q's.... ?


which "stock sway bar" are you using?

gti/cabriolet front sway bars should fit normal exhaust

[antichristonwheels]

the H&H front bar leaves plenty of room.

Just put it on yesterday. And I love it

^ looks like the same bar that was on my caddy when i bought it, was mounted so close the to tranny it rubbed a hole in the housing

[Tougemachine]

I don't think mine is close to the tranny. I'll look again tomorrow. It's like twice the dia of the stock one, and wraps around the front rad support perfectly leaves plenty of room out back for exhaust crap

reminds me of an S4's sway bar setup

[SGLoki]

the o.p. doesn't have a stock exhaust.

looks like an addco front sway. I recently came up on one at the junkyard off a scirocco 1. The plates bolt into the bumper retaining bolts. Also an fyi, i just recently bought replacement hardware from addco directly for about 40 bucks IIRC.

Yup except I got new poly bushings at a local autoparts store for $14 and new bolting for $6
