    Both have adjustable settings and cost difference is only like 10-15bucks retail. GSL Rally has a promo now ending tonight selling these for just over 200 with the price difference between the two only a few bucks. But I want a more balanced feel so I'm putting the 22mm.

    Apparently Whiteline is moving their production from Korean to Florida USA.

    I seem to have asked the exact same question in your other thread. My bad.
    No problem. Looks like you found the info. Was just going to refer you to this thread anyway

    So yes probably suggest the 22mm if you're just doing the rears but that's only my suggestion. I don't think the cost is that much different between 22 and 24mm sway bars. Will have to look again but there's possibly adjustable settings???

    Thanks for that. I'll speak with the local pedders guy later and see how that pans out.

    Best to ask your local guy. It's not a big job up on the hoist and 3 bolts each side. I'm not sure I would go Whiteline as the housing doesn't bolt up fantastically. I know Tiggy1 used some push on bushings with the stock housings. If I was to do it again I'd probably go this way but then you do end up destroying your stock bushing getting it out. So I guess it's line-ball if you intend reverting back to stock after - probably Whiteline is better in this case.

    Should have asked this before. How much would pedders charge for installing the WALK?

    Yea. Reading everyone's comments in the past and now yours as well, that the front stock bar is pretty good for general every day use, I'm thinking of changing the rear to the 22mm one too. Good to heat you've confirmed my thoughts and that helps my decision making. I want it balanced... And yes, if anything I'd prefer the front a tiny bit stiffer. But I'll leave the front stock...

    Will call Pedders on Monday. Only thing is they would need to order one in as none of their other branches had any RSB in stock. $35 extra for freight...

    If you're just doing the rear I would consider the 22. If you were doing both I'd go the 24 front and back.

    That's just my gut feel and based on having the 24 on the back of mine with the stock sway bar on the front. I think in this configuration the back is stiffer than the front.

    You probably want to have it the other way around with front stiffer or at least balanced. That's my thoughts.

    Also I wouldn't bother changing the front sway bar unless you were running it on the track.

    Thanks very much for that! He doesn't sound confident saying he's never done one before in a Tiguan. Seems pretty straight forward.

    +1. 30minute job in a workshop with a hoist. 6 bolts to undo replace stock bar with upgraded bar and redo 6 bolts.

    Rear sway bar install should take less than 30mnts max. I would not pay more than $100. (My previous mechanic charged me $30 to fit a rsb to my mk6 gti for his time).

    Diy is pretty easy, but it depends if u r comfortable with rsb install diy.

    Hi guys. Just wanted to check how much does Pedders charge for installing the rear sway bar in the Tiguan. He can't seem to give me a figure over the phone. Thanks.
