An H&R sway bar is the perfect compliment to any vehicle when lowered. For Volkswagen MKIV owners, if the vehicle is lowered more than 1.4” or even as little as 1” and the car is driven aggressively, you will most likely have a problem with the smaller OEM front sway bar rubbing on the drive shafts. H&R bars are designed with lowering in mind and will work with any aftermarket suspension system to completely eliminate contact with the drive shafts. All Sway Bar kits have precision forged ends and include bushings made from an exclusive urethane/Teflon composite that eliminate squeaks, and don't require lubrication, ever! That means no mess, no maintenance-just bolt in H&R Sway Bars and go! Like all H&R components, H&R Sway Bars are 100% made in Germany, and are powder coated for long-lasting good looks.
