    Mk7 GTI front swaybar

    Has anyone on here fitted their own front swaybar in a mk7 gti?
    I assume the front subframe needs to be dropped, what's was involved and can it be done on the ground with Jack stands and a trolley jack?

    Why do you want to fit a front sway bar? Usually a thicker rear bar is the go in a FWD car. Last one I did was on a Mitsubishi Magna. Single best suspension mod I did. Dialled out lots of understeer. A thicker front bar will cause more understeer. Generally.
    Looking for:- RS4 B7 Avant.

      Already have the rear done and it's great, but want more, few of the lads have done both with very good results
      car is getting tracked a bit, just got semi slicks and want a bit more turn in and traction through corners
