Nice. If you're interested in a H&R front sway bar I have a brand new one here that's available.Originally posted by BrisPiripi View PostWhiteline Rear Sway bar purchased as well as a Front Control Arm Lower-Inner Rear Anti Lift Bush Kit - looking forward to them arriving for my first Polo project worksComment

I haven't even looked at the front yet, just going to focus on the rear and the lower control arm stuff for now.....Originally posted by Polo GTEye N9 View Post

Don't bother with the front bar unless you're doing a complete upgrade. Even than, personally wouldn't suggest doing it. My car has had the front sway bar replaced/upsized, but frankly if it wasn't such a PITA of a job, I'd swap back to stock. Now that this car is not being used for daily duties, I might just do that at some point.
To get the most from the upsized front bar means doing custom rear springs to increase the rear spring rate. Even with rear bar set to hard, some more rotation would be beneficial on track. For street driving, absolutely not worth it IMO. Doing the front bar also limits front wheel travel, which also isn't ideal. I've had more fun driving (and perceived levels of grip) with the front bar disconnected.Track Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII

Sam just went back to stock with his front barComment

I think that's what I love about forums like this. Finding out this type of info can often be trial and error. I'm glad that someone else has already trialled and deemed it an error so I don't have to [emoji16][emoji16]

the front is actually not lower than standard - it's 100% stock but I have taller profile tyres so less guard clearance. The back is lower than standard but I have no idea how much, they're cut down springs from the front of a HondaOriginally posted by BrisPiripi View PostComment

Mine was easy to install. I just paid the mechanic to do it while they fitted the Eibach springs and B8 Bilstein's.Originally posted by Polo GTEye N9 View Post
I have the H&R front and rear sway bar kit fitted and with that spring/shock combo, the handling is batsh*t crazy.
All up with including fitting a front LCA poly bush I paid a bit under $600 labour for the whole job.Comment

I hate paying labour for things I can do myself, but that's actually quite reasonable for the amount of work they did...Originally posted by MattSA9N3 View PostComment

I don't get my ambitions mixed up with my abilityOriginally posted by simon k View Post .
Plus living in a unit with no garage or tools doesn't help. I just drop the car off, use their loan car all day and pick it up after work with the new bits in it.Comment

Paying 600 bucks in labour for all that is very cheap. lucky to have found that. Yeah I just put the front bar back to stock and agree that a front bar for a street car is unecessary especially considering the extent to which it hurts ride quality. Different story compared to a rear bar though which is an absolute must do/step 1/ starting point.Comment

Very cheap indeed.
Does anyone have any suggestions where to buy the following?

Downpipe/exhaust (in Brisbane)
Intercooler and piping
Stage 1 tune
I've had a look through the forum and unfortunately, everything looks like it is super dated and potentially no longer applicableComment
