For those looking for the next step in improved handling, we are pleased to release our rear sway bar upgrade for the MK7/MK7.5 Golf & GTI. Intended to be paired with our lowering spring kit, the rear sway bar upgrade will reduce body roll to create a more neutral steering balance. This sway bar upgrade is specifically designed to function with the OEM front sway bar, getting rid of the factory under-steer while allowing enough compliance for a comfortable ride and predictable suspension behavior.

For the ultimate performance, we opted for a 3-position adjustable bar. The three settings offer a stiffness increase from 35% to 83%! Please note that when using the stock end links it is recommended to use the middle hole, to maintain proper suspension geometry. To use the outside holes, a spherical end link is recommended as the geometry will place added stress on the fixed factory link.

OEM 20mm Sway Bar Rate: 333 lb./in.

EMD Auto Sway Bar Rate (Position 1): 448 lb./in.

EMD Auto Sway Bar Rate (Position 2): 520 lb./in.

EMD Auto Sway Bar Rate (Position 3): 608 lb./in.

Sway Bar - The sway bar is a 22.2mm solid bar that is manufactured in the USA from high quality spring steel. We opted for a solid design, as it ensures that our sway bar will last a lifetime of abuse without risk of breakage or deformation. In order to maintain the factory suspension geometry (for those using stock end links), we opted for a non-adjustable design.

Billet Brackets - Included with each sway bar is a set of our custom billet brackets. Through CAD design and stress analysis, we developed a stronger alternative to typical stamped brackets. Each bracket is CNC machined, anodized black and finished with a stealth "e".

Upgraded Bushings - The included bushings are designed to minimize noise typically associated with polyurethane bushings. Using a unique interior groove, the bushing is able to better hold and maintain lubricating grease. This ensures continued usage without developing squeaks and creaks.
