Default 034 Motorsports Rear Sway Bar - Negative Review

Everyone:

Ordered my B8 new from the factory in late 2010, so mine is a 2011 model. Love this car and keep modifying it! Only 54,500 miles in 7 1/2 years, but that's another story, The purpose of this post is to warn anyone thinking about using/installing the 034 Motorsports rear anti-roll bar.

To be honest, it's taken me a while to write this because I travel a great deal.

Specifically, with regard to my warning, you will notice in the instruction manual that you can install this product on ramps. Absolutely not true! Trust me, I tried it and it is not as they present on-line. Once I encountered the difficulties that I did, I e-mailed 034 Motorsports. Guess what came back? The following response (completely contradicting that which they have in the on-line instruction manual):

Hey Jeff!

How are you doing? Thank you for reaching out to us.

Doing this on jack stands or ramps is quite difficult. The
first thing I'd recommend is make sure there is not any
load on the rear suspension. This will allow for the most
clearance and working space.

I still installed it since I received as a Christmas present. Cost me $125 for install. Honestly, had I known that I could not install on my own, I would not have purchased/asked for the gift. Just want to let everyone know the deal with these guys; instructions on-line are COMPLETELY misleading.

Also, looking at a resonator delete with an x-pipe and was considering these guys. No more.

Best Regards,

Jeff
