Default DC streets destroy TT sway bars

...or so my dealer says. I drive the thing like a baby, when I actually DO drive in town I'm always going slow, avoiding potholes like mad and I never take the really bad roads, but still I've had 2 front sway bars crack in the last 8000 miles. Audi customer support says talk to the dealer, dealer says talk to Audi... blah blah blah. I know I'm not the only TT owner in the nation's capitol- anyone have any insight? Are there aftermarket sway bars that don't snap like pixie sticks? Thanks.

Never heard of this. Try Neuspeed.

Default Eibach makes a front bar too.

I have creaking that just won't go away. When the bushings are all greased up, I'm good for a couple weeks, although I still get a little bit of noise. I'm thinking about doing the Neuspeed front and rear bar.

The aftermarket sway bars are thicker. I wouldn't do the front without doing the rear.
