Hope you enjoyed the thread.

It hasn't always been smooth sailing but I've managed to get most things sorted.

Looking forward to seeing your build thread once you take delivery of your car

Installed some new trims that Santa bought:

You can always buy the switch separately later if you feel the need for it. It is shame APR does not give their Bluetooth Mobile data logging and program switch module for Android phones. If they did could be a great addition for my car tablet integration.

Yes though it's cheaper to buy the switch with the Haldex controller. Will see how far the budget stretches

[Ramee]

....next mod after Christmas is hopefully going to be a Haldex upgrade. Still trying to figure out whether to get the switching unit or just to go the "basic" controller (same as Ramee).

If there's anyone else interested in getting one there's a group buy happening over here

The stock sway bar is light tube. I can imagine it has quite a bit of flex.

I've put the Whiteline 24mm X-HD bars on and they are significantly more substantial. I believe these are a solid bar.

The size comparison is probably irrelivant because the OEM is probably tube & the whiteline will be bar/rod therefore they could both be 22mm but have totally different torsional stiffness.

I've had Whiteline on other cars & would just get the X-HD 24mm unit & set it on soft #personal preference

Yep GSL is the way to go... and support a forum sponsor

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.

Front Sway Bar + ALK installed in Tiguan

Sorry Tig!

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???

Hey mate,

I'm just about to purchase a whiteline rear sway bar and was wondering what you used in terms of size and stiffness setting?

I was thinking the 22 but not sure what the stock bar is and if the 22 will be enough.

I just want to eliminate high speed cornering body roll, but don't want to roughen the ride at all.

Thanks!

Alex
