Re: So... anyone have Autotech anti-sway bars?

[John Penoyer <jpenoyer@wwnet.com>]

I may have the ones you are thinking of buying on my Gti.  They are about 
7 years old so they may have changed the design by now.  The front bar 
is mounted on it's own fron stress bar that really stiffend up the fron 
end.  THe attachment points for the bushings used to hang  down low, but 
I thnk  they have fixed this.  Both bars are heavy and well made.  BTW, 
these were for RACE ONLY when I bought them -- the only other setup like 
this I've seen have been on race cars in IT events.  My car is quick 
throught the corners, but these bars may be too much for your taste.  Of 
course you may be thinking of the street version -- no experience wth that.
