Default Need rear sway bar advice, 19mm Neuspeed or 21mm H&R adjustable?

I'm ready to start modding my TT (warranty is up soon) I need help deciding which sway bar to get,from searching the forum it seems that the automatic choice is the 19mm Neuspeed, although the H&R 21mm adjustable seems like a good alternative. Those with the adjustable, what setting do you use for normal street driving? In general do all aftermarket sway bars squeek? How difficult is the install?

Right now I'm leaning toward the Neuspeed, but any feedback would be helpful.

Thanks

Default I think you'll be satisfied with either...

I went with the H&R because it is adjustable. With PSS9 coilovers I only run the softer setting. It makes it more prone to oversteer and the car feels much more balanced as it is set now, so I don't think I'll even use the firm setting unless I upgrade the front bar. I'll know for sure once I spend some real track time with it though.

Default Also H&R bar bushings do not need to be oiled, while Neuspeed you do.

I have H&R coil-overs so H&R swaybar was a very logical choice for me. It feels great. The car feels, like TTagz said, more balanced.

Default Yeah, I saw that one, is it completely necessary to remove the exhaust?

I read about a neuspeed install where they didn't have to remove the exhaust.

exhaust doesn't need to be removed, just drop the hangers and you'll have room to work
