Default Swaybars, problems with underbody?

Has anyone experienced problems such as cracks in the underbody with Neuspeed Swaybars because of their rigidity? A tech told me that he has seen that problem.

Default Old problem ... from the pre-subframe brackets days

Any swaybar purchased now should include the subframe brackets. It's not a Neuspeed thing, it's anyone's bar, really.

(I had subframe cracks on my A4 from the pre-bracket era of sway bars).

Default Should it be ok with the brackets?

So are those problems solved with the brackets? No danger of cracks in the subframe?

With brackets such as those supplied by Neuspeed, no worries mate.

Default After working with Greg Woo on the design of the support brackets...

I think that you should definitely be fine with the 19mm bar....and probably the 22mm bar...I just am leery of it due to my damage before. Maybe I am playing it safe...but remember I was bit before ....so I have the right to be conservative on this.
