Shoduchi:
Tonight these guys had to suspend their game in a nearby town... :surprised:
They'll continue the match tomorrow with less water hopefully. :scared:
rex:
Very, very nice progress :congrats:.
Why did you decide to change only the rear sway bar (BTW... is the GTI one different to the original one)? Why not buy a ARB kit (it will really improve the handling)?

Thank rex! :drinking:
Looking at the VAG codes on the label of my trunk I saw that I had the same front sway bar as the GTI, just the rear was thinner (20,7 mm x 2,8 mm). I asked some friends for opinions and some GTI owners were happy with just adding some Powerflex bushes to the RARB, but also said the NVH increased.
At the moment my ride is quite comfortable and I like it that way. Since I'm not thinking of doing track days I thought why not upgrade the rear bar with a thicker OEM bar with rubber bushes? Aftermarket ARB kits also have PU bushes so they should increase the NVH to the same level has the Powerflex bushes do.
Today I had the chance to try better the new setup (no rain today) and I'm very pleased! The SALK is great and I have no harshness going through roads with pot holes. :)

First piece of the shifter mod arrived this week:
Loving what the SALK has done to the front axis. :driver:
rex:
Very nice! Is your car 5 speed or 6 speed?
Where did you buy it from? I only found short shifts for 2.0 TFSI gearbox and nothing for other gearboxes.
