Old school Front Swaybar Vs. The Neuspeed 22mm Front Swaybar -On a'79 Scirocco Where You Have To Move The Fuel Lines ToInstallThe Neuspeed Swaybar!

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

Jules, the K bar is a must have, and saved my '79 Scirocco, but this about
the front swaybar. 

Btw, Dave Novak gave me his Fox Wagon w/3A long-block. :)

I have a K bar under my hood. I swear if it had not been there the car would
have taken more damage to the strut towers when it was hit.

After shifting the front end at least an inch, the towers remained intact.

I have never been in an accident before (unless you include scaring corn
during a "spirited" drive). I figure it saved my car, so it stays in...
