6894, GST swaybars fatter than RS/GS?
Posted by damasta, Feb-19-02 10:53 AM
Are front swaybars the same on RS/GS as on GST's?
Are rear swaybars on the GST fatter than on GS'?
Right now I'm NO bar in the rear so it will be an upgrade either way.

And i hear it's quite a nice upgrade, too. You'll need GS/GST/TSI rear lower control arms to add a rear sway, however.

When I do the swaybars would it help to have replace the shitty tubber bushings with polyurethane ones from RRE? They only $9 front/rear each.
And what are upper shock bushings and will this help a hell of a lot? I'm waiting for my struts right now and while they are apart I might as well add whatever I can to make things tighter right?

The stock RS front sway bar is 17mm the front TSi sway bar is 19mm.
The rear sway bar for a TSi is a measly 12mm. Bleh I can't get any over steer with that dinky bar. haha I might as well weld another bar onto it.
Now remember the front bar is thicker so your gonna get more understeer. I remember I just installed the rear bar and I could get the back to swing pretty easy now with the fat bar in the front it just understeer unless I pull the ebrake or left foot brake. haha but if understeering is your thing go for it.
