RE: SWAY BAR!! two on the rear??

[Rodney Noriel <rbn@corp.cirrus.com>]

How do they mount them?  Just one behind the other?
That would mess the new one up wouldn't it?  Ah well,

I'll tell you how I did it.  In the old days when they had companies like 
"Quicker" and early "Neuspeed" (circa 1983), the rear sway bar was mounted 
on the triangular plates between the rear beam and the trailing arm.  You 
had to drill huge holes in these triangle and bolt the bar to them.  Next 
the GTI Rabbit came out with factory swaybars that mounted to the beam and 
the trailing arms.   My 82 had the aftermarket bar, then a friend with a 
GTI rabbit wanted me to install his Neuspeed, that was redesigned to mount 
like the factory, I kept his old bar and installed it on the rocco, and 
Wala! they both fit.

Mind you the aftermarket bars back then were no where near the 28mm of 
today.  They were maybe 20mm or less and a stock GTI was maybe 18mm.

I have the old "Quickor" rear bar.  I'd be willing to sell it if anyone 
wants.  But the again that with a 28mm would be serious oversteer.

PS  I'm sure some of the veterans remember "Quicker"
