Is it THAT different? I'll be honest ... I didn't notice a huge difference after the 19mm Neuspeed
went on the rear.
I've only driven one pre-recall TT--it was back in 1999 though. It was a frontrak, but did seem to have sharper steering.

a while back it was in the shop for other work >
and I had them install the MK2 poly bushings for me then - think that was a 2-hour charge plus alignment (I'll check) - but they pressed out the front oem's. After they're out its easy to replace the poly's; the rear oem's I did, also pretty easy - first one just pressed out with the jack/press shaft; the second sheared and the center punched through so I just pressed the remaining outside housing out carefully using the new bushing and a block, then flipped the arm and finished the seat alignment to flush using a pipe housing I had.

you need to realize the 'package' I have is pretty tight >
and responsive. I've done an 'enormous' amount of work to be able to take advantage of a mod like this - plus, fwd has more front weight bias than a q to begin with, so steering input and modifications are pronounced. Also, I have plenty of power and a great suspension/wheel/brakes package, so yes - not 'daily driving' stuff going to the corner, but 'power-on' stuff - quite nice.

YES, it IS that different.
I, like you, will be honest - I didn't notice much/anything with the neuspeed 19 mm rear. I am pretty sure it helped, but who knows for sure. I am also running KW v3 suspension, so it is pretty tight.
Putting the DEFCON in was the single most noticeable change I have made to my suspension. PERIOD.

I'm surprised by this (the sway bar, not DEFCON)
I noticed a huge positive difference when I put mine in. Of course, my commute at the time was 25 miles of twisty mountain roads, so maybe that had
something to do with it.
