Upper Strut Tie bar Question

[sciroccojunky at gmail.com (Lance LaPrarie)]

Oh yeah,

not to confuse matters, There is a Mark II 8v and Mark II 16v as well as a
mark I 8v and Mark I 16v. The Mark II models require drilling and the easily
ruined nutserts.

Not sure on Mark III and newer since I've never installed one on those but
assume they are similar to the Mark II.

I personally like Neuspeed gear since it works well and is constructed the
same. However I have some Autotech sway bars that have a cool way of
mounting and seem to work good. Not sure if they are any better than the
Neuspeed but I like them just the same. They are hollow opposed to solid so
they may be lighter which could be a benefit of some sort.

I don't really knock their earlier stuff since it has worked great like an
old favorite shoe. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try something new but has a
comfort level. Newer cars on the other hand I'd go with other vendors since
they have a greater focus on the VW platform where Neuspeed has focused on
the Honda and other Ricemobiles as of late. If I had a new Mark V or IV I'd
rock APR gear or others. Autotech is still great too!!

My two cents.
