Why are you after one? On the MK2's all they do is look good unless you're after that last poofteenth improvement in handling.

Rear 28mm sway bay is the best improvement.

Cheers

Thanks Paul - I guess I wanted one because when I jacked the car up on one side the windscreen cracked and when I opened the passenger side front door it popped the side trim off. Car has NO rust in it. As for poofteenths we arent that eager my friend. Looks like Ive found one and it's red so it will definitely look good. I also had a massive improvement with a front brace on my old Pulsar Gtir but I know that a whole different story. I've heard great things about the 28mm rear and it's on the agenda - any cheap alternatives out there as we dont want to put too much money in the car.

Somethings not right. When I jack up the front of my MK2 using the mounting point just behind the front wheelarch the back of my car lifts off the ground too.

A really cheap way to get a rear sway bar is to measure up under your car to see what size (width and length) you've got room for. Go to the wreckers and check out front sway bars off the cars they have to see if any will fit. They you just need a welder to make up bracket supports to fit the sway bar to the back of your MK2. Get something nice and thick and make sure you get it with all the brackets.

You going to the VW Nationals in Sydney?

My old MK1's had front bars off a Sigma and a Mazda Capella (I did say my old MK1's).
