EMD Auto Volkswagen MK7 / MK7.5 Golf SportWagen (AWD) Rear Sway Bar Upgrade
EMD Auto
For those looking for the next step in improved handling, we are pleased to release our rear sway bar upgrade for the MK7 Golf SportWagen (AWD only). Designed around a package 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 56% to 113%! 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.

Sway Bar - The sway bar is a 23.8mm 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. For increased adjustability in various driving scenarios, we opted for a 3 position adjustable design. Each bar is finished in a subtle gloss black coating for a stock-like appearance.
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.
Grease - Included with each order is a pack of high quality synthetic grease. When combined with our included bushings, this combo ensures continued noise-free usage without the need for frequent re-greasing.
