i think welding and the strengtheners should be ok - but each case needs to be assessed.

People would maybe be cheaper getting the H-sport bars now from the US who have not already got bigger ARB's. They are $450 but then will have the postage and vat etc on top.

They are 35mm front and 22mm rear.

Here is a pic

Brackets are looking like they will be £110+v for a set including all hardware. I am hoping to have these available next week.
ByThursday please! :lol:

btw, I got quoted 85 + VAT for the Neuspeed 22mm hardware kit (bolts, brackets and
bushes) from Awesome or $199 from Neuspeed :roll:

if neuspeed do them separatlyy then tell me asap so I won't bother getting any made up! I thought these were expensive but it looks like they are priced close to the US prices.

Maybe worth doing a search over on AW as said previously this has been discussed over there.

Neuspeed Rear Anti Roll Bar A4/S4 B5 4WD 19mm: most of the Neuspeed units are 19mm, not 22. I know you can get 22, but look around and 99% are 19MM. most say that is fine. Would the brackets be the same? I think so.

Just had my sub frame replaced and the difference is amazing. The drivers side had completly snapped. The handling is now back to what it should be, it grips for fun now.

I had my rear subframe checked yetserday and no cracks were found, but I would be interested to see what H&R have to say on the subject.

Hello guys.
I found the H-Sport sway bars for 450$ a set plus shipping costs (120$ to italy).
If you buy 2 of them, the price drops to 425$ a set.
If someone is interested, please contact me and i'll ask my distributor a quote for a bigger order. Maybe he can make a lower price if we buy more than 2 sets ;)


Bye.
