Does Neuspeed Swaybar come with links?
 

It looks like I am going to be putting a 19mm Neuspeed rear swaybar on my 2001 A4. I am wondering if it comes with swaybar links or do I have to shell out the $130 for decent (non-plastic) links in addition to the bar? Thanks!

No, no endlinks.
 

It only comes with brackets to support the car against the subframe. If you're not happy with your endlinks, CPP sells some (www.awe-tuning.com has them).

Look for the metal ones from the 96-98? A4's from a salvage yard.
 

My 97 has the metal ones.

Can u get the metal ones from the stealership...or they are discontinued and replaced by the plastic

Good question. Not sure.
 

My ETKA shows the part #'s split by VIN and not superceded so I would think they were both available but I am not sure.

Left:
8A0 505 465 C VIN >> 8D-V-060 000
8D0 505 465 VIN 8D-V-060 000 >>

Right:
8A0 505 466 C VIN >> 8D-V-060 000
8D0 505 466 VIN 8D-V-060 000 >>

Suggestions on where to get links in the SF Bay Area?
 

I need them by Friday. Getting metal ones from the dealship will probably cost $100, so I might as well get cheap ones from a yard or order the CPP ones. Only problem is AWE is across the country so I worry about getting them in time...

Get the metal ones from Blaufergnugen. Talk to Jim. $80 total for both shipped.

The only two places I can think of are...
 

www.force5auto.com and www.shokan.com. They both sell used Audi parts. Force 5 is in the New England area, though and I don't remember where Shokan is.
