It sounds just like your alignment is off pretty badly.  Does your car
vibrate the faster you go?  Like your riding over tiny bumps?  If so then
your tires probably need rebalancing.  Mine need it REALLY bad and it's
really annoying to drive.  Some day I'll have to fix up my car!  =)

Haven't tried the sway bars yet but I drove my friend's 16v with 22 fr and
28 rr set up and it is sweet!  There was no body roll that was tangible like
my stock suspension.  As to the stress bar, Why Do I hear this all the time?
?  I've heard a lot of people dogging the stress bar saying it doesn't
improve handling too!  What, are they completely numb to VWs??!!  Turn in
response was incredibly smoother and quicker.  It really surprised me.  I
could even feel it on Jay's Scirocco when he put his on and I rode passenger
!  It is one of the most cost effective mods out there!  
So how do you like the leather Kev?  It's been a while since we "spoke" eh? 
I am getting Sparco seats for my Scirocco anyway so my friend will probably
get your seats temporarily.  Lata
