Default 2.7T: Anti-Sway Bars

Just ordered PSK Anti-Sway Bars from dealer:

front = 4B0-411-309F with mounts (2) 4D0-411-327H ($204)
rear = 4B0-511-409F with mounts (2) 8D0-511-327D ($103)

What are the diameters of these bars for PSK (sports) suspension?

I just measured mine which are non-PSK:

Front = 28.5 mm
Rear = 15.3 mm

Any tips for installation?

Thanks,

Default Let us know what you think after installing.

Do a search back through this forum there's been at least one post on installing the rear bar. It might be interesting to install the front, see what difference that makes and then install the rear. Some people are just doing the rear.

Default Re: Start with the rear first!!

Increasing the front bar thickness would induce more under-steer or plowing effect. I am not sure anyone would call that an improvement in handling?! Do the rear and you will get less roll and better turn-in feel. If that is not enough, then you can go on to springs/shocks etc....

Default Re: Start with the rear first!!

That sounds logical. Isn't understeer the most common problem? If so, why add a front unless the addition of a rear bar creates oversteer. I'll be int in the results people get with rear only or both.
