I've been rolling around on the squeakiest, creakiest, noisiest Neuspeed rear sway bar now for many months, and after many lubrications and line items reading "After market sway bar ????" on my Audi dealer's oh-so-helpful report form, I'm ready to ditch it. Lube only helps mildly for a few hundred miles before it's noisy-as-hell again.

So are there aftermarket brands that people are happy with noisewise? What's your mileage on the bar?

Gracias.
PS - 89,000 miles this week and it's finally time for new brake pads and rotors :-P

H&R rear sway going on 60,000 miles without a peep. Teflon bushings eliminates squeaks. No lube required.

89,000! I thought I was having a good run. My pads are finally going at 74,000 miles. Are you going OEM on the pads?

Hmm... I hadn't thought about it! Are there better (again, non-noisy!) alternatives?

I'm looking at Hawk HPS street pads from Tirerack. Suppose to be more responsive them OEM with low noise levels. Here's some info I found from a forum member http://oooo-a3.blogspot.com/2009/03/...-and-pads.html

I agree with BlueSport as I have an H&R RSB with the teflon bushings and not a sound. I'm selling the car so it's for sale if you are interested. Here's the thread on fourtitude http://forums.fourtitude.com/zerothread?id=4464409

Also my car for sale if anyone is interested: http://forums.fourtitude.com/zerothread?id=4402166
