For those that have had their Neuspeed rear bar rub or break their uplink: what was the fix?
CPP links? '93-95 Audi 90 or '96-some '98 A4 uplinks?
Mine broke at a track event this past weekend, which I had to remove the bar during the lunch break of the second day and then ran without it, and rotated the car with trail braking or a stab of the brakes when needed.
It rubbed the driveshaft, then snapped. I never found the missing piece.

S4Alex: any issues since? how many miles since putting in the CPP links (and spacers?)?

Rob and anyone else with the issue: same questions.

I don't want to buy a set of uplinks, put the Neu bar back in and have the same issue. I'm thinking of just pulling my H&R A4 coilovers and selling them with my Neu bar and getting a set of Stasis Track Sport or Motorsport 600/700 and run the OEM stock bar.

Same problem for me too, I bought the CPP links for the broken part...
but I have to run my neuspeed sway bar on stiff with the included CPP spacers to avoid contact. I'm probably going to put my stock sway bar back on and see if that gives me any more clearance. I had H&R/Blistein suspension and now have stasis motorsport 750/900, I never noticed the rubbing until I put on the stasis suspension on and lowered the car more. When you run the stiffer springs in the rear I don't think you really need much more than the stock sway bar.

Yep, me. Those fit just like OEM (on my A4).
I think these are the uplinks that came on the first year of the B5, although am not sure about that. I HAVE been told this is what was used on the 90s pre-B5.
