i know it's been a long time since my last post ...the new year has given me some time to surf as i've been travelling.

anyway, here's a pic of the Neuspeed front sway bar, a direct replacement of the OEM one

How much did these cost, and how easy were they to fit?

i actually bought them 1 year ago from a previous passat owner. i can't remember how much it was but it was more than 50% of the cost of the part first hand.

if you buy first hand, get the rear as we already have an OEM front sway bar, the neuspeed one for the front is bigger and solid instead of hollow like the OEM, but unless u race, i reckon you'd not notice the diff.

Do you notic any difference in handling???

limlien · 01-01-2008, 16:26

The handling improved lots. By just install the rear sways u can feel that the car will corner with more confident and will not willow and drift when u do a corner on stock suspension.

just like limlien says, it makes a whole world of difference in the handling dept.

worth it's weight in gold...kinda...

I've currently got the tuning shop I deal with looking at prices of other products as they dont deal with Neuspeed. They are looking at H&R - Eibach - KW etc. I'll post prices once I have them on Monday.

Let us know what you find out mate as I would be interested.....

Fluffy duck, Where these just a striaght bolt on, or was any body work undertaken to get them to fit?

I've been in touch with Sarah @ Awesome GTI and they are looking into these, but so far they cannot ascertain how easy they will fit....

cheers

I was going to contact Sarah @ Awesome so if they do get some prices ask if they could do something for you and I mate?

As far as I am aware the front under trays will need to come off but nothing on the rear?

limlien · 09-01-2008, 15:31

Its a direct bolt on. Easy to do for the rear. The front have to be totally replaced. I see if i can get my car up to a lift and take some photos or not.

primey · 15-01-2008, 19:25

Had the 25mm Lower rear fitted today. Price for the part alone was 185 + VAT. Its 195 + VAT for the 28mm.

Although I did not have chance to really give the car some hammer into the bends due to road conditions/slow drivers, I can certainly tell the difference now its on.

Pics were taken while it was on the ramps at Awesome, so they will be posted once I have them, or by Sarah herself.

AwesomeSarah · 16-01-2008, 10:48

Hi Paul
I will see what I can do for you
Glad you got home OK , was a bit of a hellish night on the roads

but glad is all good
When you get chance in the bends its even better

Sort of under advisement. Since the car already has one from the factory, fitting a solid Neuspeed one would probaly only make a real difference if my car driven around a track on a regular basis, so I did not bother.

Fitting the rear one alone has made quite a difference......

Advisement from Awesome? Thought they would be more than willing to get some more money off you........LOL!!

AwesomeSarah · 17-01-2008, 11:35

Hey we are always looking at taking your money
But we did not have all in stock , plus time , plus costs
The front one will not be as easy as the rear and we had a bit of a ait to get a ramp free so we could look at it

Sorry Paul
But hopefully if I ever get away from this computer I will get some pics up
Hopefully
