Rear sway bar

Hello,

Is your car a Quattro?

If so, rear ARBs is brilliant upgrade.

would you not consider H&R as their rear sway bars are thick

Hi,

Yes my car is a quattro.
Is the hardrace and 034 not thicker than the h&r?

I thought from memory H&R was 30mm but looking back It was the fronts! The rears are slightly smaller at 25 so the hardrace and 034 are deffo a teeny bit bigger.

The difference from hollow and solid is the weight of the bar for a given stiffness. But the downside is it is easier to break compared to a solid ARB.

The weight saving is honestly negligible for everyday use and unless you’ve got a track car and trying to save every gram then it does make sense.

Would you say the solid bar would work better than a hollow one

I only ever upgraded to the H&R solid ARB so can say they definitely made a difference with handling and keeping the wheels more planted, you do sacrifice some comfort but definitely worth it when going around corners or roundabouts 👍🏻🤪

Nut and bolt would suffice to be honest, if you get the nylon self locking nuts then they’ll never undo even with all the vibrations.
