Help choosing rear sway bar - **Even more info Needed**

[GTI-Ross]

Hey guys,

Ive spent a few hours reading about sway bars, all different types of combination. Just Rear, Front and Rear, different sizes etc....

So many options. Im in a MK6 as a daily driver - Would i just be best going for a 22 or 25 rear sway, will that be fine. If so what make is decent for them, Neuspeed, H&R?

Ps: Im on standard springs ans shocks at the moment

Any advice would be welcome

Is the standard bar 23mm  will an extra 1mm be that much stiffer?

I had the H&R 24(f) 22(r) bars on my ed30 and will be transferring them onto my mk6, great mod imo and I went for the small H&R bar set as found the big bars on my A3 were a little too much for ride comfort on the poor roads round me, pretty sure the oem rear bar is hollow so even a 22mm solid bar makes quite a difference

Do you have an idea what the labour cost are for the sway bars, i know the rear is easy, but dont you have to drop the sub frame for the front? No idea what they will charge for that

I paid 2 hours labour for front and rear fitted last time round, £70ish but that was 4 years ago
