For everyone interested in anti roll bars I made this table to compare the several stock and aftermarket bars.
Be careful when comparing tube and solid types !!
In general: aftermarket sway bars are stiffer and they are adjustable front and rear to balance the car.
They all reduce body roll. Ride comfort is reduced just by a small amount.
Some examples:
model / diameter front ( x thickness) / diameter rear (x thickness)
OEM:
A3 Ambition/S-Line: 22,5 x 3,5 / 20,7 x 2,8 both tube
Golf V GTI: 23,6 x 3,5 / 21,7 x 3,0 both tube
Golf V R32: 22,0 solid / 21,7 x 3,0 tube (4-motion)
Golf VI GTI: 23,6 x 3,5 / 21,7 x 3,0 PR-0BF or 21,7 x 3,6 PR-0BM (DCC?) both tube
Golf VI R: 22,0 solid / 21,7 x 3,6 tube (4-motion)
Scirocco R: 23,6 x 3,5 / 21,7 x 3,6 both tube
Touran 170 HP: 23,0 solid / 21,7 x 3,0 tube
Passat R36: 23,6 solid / 21,7 x 3,6 tube (4-motion)
Sharan 2011: 24.0 mm / 20.0 mm both solid
adjustable sport after-market ARBs:
Whiteline: 22 / 22 mm both solid (non adjustable)
H&R 'regular': 26 / 22 mm both solid
Eibach AntiRoll: 26 / 23 mm both solid
KW clubsport: 26 / 23 mm both solid
H&R 'big boy': 28 / 24 mm both solid
H&R 'big boy' II: 28 / 28 mm both solid (available at AWE only)
H&R 4-motion: 25 / 25 mm both solid
Whiteline: 24 / 24 mm both solid
Neuspeed: 25 / 25 mm both solid
Autotech: 25 / 25 mm tube
APR/Hotchkis: 27 / 27 mm tube
(does anybody know thicknesses?)
KW CS are identical to Eibach, just painted yellow instead of dark red.

An awesome car and some awesome pics.
What happened on the track/airfield with the cone? Oversteer spin?

Yes, it was cold and a bit wet, so no chance to the get the rear tyres warm.
So we had overstering probs. Had a friend driving my car when I took the picture.
One hour later I had similar problems.

WALK, front bushes of S3 arm, S3 hub and bushes of rear trailing arm.
All bushes come from Whiteline.

Bruce - on your pictures above can you confirm what you have their please.
Are you running S3 hub and arm with everything else OEM Golf e.g. wheel bearing.

Yes, the GTI wheel bearings were still good, so I stayed with them.
As I said on the S3 hub thread all the bearings have the same dimensions.
