Oh no!  Not this debate again! :-)

Two different groups exist in the VW suspension tuning world.

There are the 'Shine Racing' folks that run with no front sway bar (I am
part of this group.) Then there are the rest of the world who say big
front bar and minimal rear bar.  I personally prefer the big rear bar no
front bar approach.  but only for the street, I have seen the other way
proven at the track and have talked with guys with plenty more experience
racing these cars and have tried it all.  The big front bar is the best
for a fully prepped racer for sure.  As for the street, I prefer the no
front bar.
