Default Which one would you guys recomend for a rear sway bar,

the Neuspeed 19mm or the H&R 21mm. Would the H&R be more agressive than the Neuspeed. Price for the H&R is $159.95 and Neuspeed is $169.99 so the price is not a factor. Please enlighten Me.

TIA

Default I just went H&R, liked the larger size with adjustability and the better bushings.

install this week.

Default It being available helped too, right? ;^) Looking forward to your review.

I'm amazed you didn't already have one.

Default The HR is way to stiff. We installed it on my buddies car and it sucked. Removed it and put on

Neuspeed 19mm. Much better. With his wider tires in the rear he thought he would be ok with the larger H&R. Still to much snap out of the rear. The 22mm H&R is a good way to get killed in the rain.

Default That's a pretty "soft" combo although koni/eibach would be softer.....

I'm surprised that that 21mm H&R set on soft would be significantly stiffer than the Neuspeed 19mm bar. My understanding - and I could be wrong is that the stiffer setting on the H&R is equivalent to the 22mm Neuspeed bar in terms of overall stiffness.

Default I was suprised too. We tried all 3 settings, even the softest was to snappy. The 19mm Neuspeed is

pretty close to perfect.
