Sway Bar Help

[ohcaptainobvious]

Hi all. I have my car lowered on B&Gs and the passenger axle has taken a beating from rubbing. I already tried adjustable end links and this did not solve the problem. I am ready to buy an aftermarket front sway bar to fix my clearance problem. I was looking at the neuspeed but they say it cannot be used with b&g coilovers. Are there any other brands I can use?

Did you look at the adjustable end links from ECS? They come with 3 different lengths of adjustment bolts. The ones you had may have not had enough length to them to get you where you need. ECS has a video on their site. Just a thought....

Don't waste your time with adjustable endlinks. Either take your swaybar out or replace it with one that has a larger "horseshoe" that goes over the axle. When you look at aftermarket swaybars, get the one that says "For use when lowering the car more than 1.4 inches".

Here is one good example. Its a little pricy, but you can find a used one on Ebay or Vwvortex for much cheaper.

I heard the H&Rs still rub on occasion. My car is lowered around 2.5-3 inches so I would probably get one that goes under the axle like the autotech. I won't buy more endlinks, I have mine shortened completely and there is a deep groove in my axle. I guess I'll just have to spend the money on an autotech. I just have to find out if I'm hitting subframe or not

Just take the swaybar out. I don't miss it.
