Polo GTI Rear swaybar

[shaneth]

Hello my name is shane, i drive a 2006 Polo GTI and already have one of your RSB for the car (fantastic mod). But i am in the middle of a debate with a well respected VW Tuner who has told me that putting on one of these will disrupt the car so that it will cause snap oversteer. (personally i disagree, but this is on another forum and i would like to set the information straight) I have read it was designed to suit the the stock front sway bar. What i wanted to find out is what testing you do to ensure that its safe for the general populace.

This is what he wanted me to find out.
I have not seen any of the Whiteline testing procedures & how they set up their test Polo for high speed maneuvers (Shane - maybe you can ask them for their test procedure please).

Hi Shane,

To answer your question, in the process of developing our products handling is the main concern but so is safety.

Generally Car manufacturers like to design vehicles with a degree of understeer which therefore leaves room for us to improve.

We can say that we have designed these Swaybars to compliment the front OE bar and at the end of the day everyone has different driving styles and expectations.

I hope this clears things up.
