Hello from Australia, Just fitted this kit. Absolutely amazing! This has transformed the car. Can't believe it didn't come like this from the factory. As for the fitting, I have a suggestion which I came across when replacing lower control arm bushes on my 9N3 Polo. Instead of removing the entire control arm, requiring the replacement of a multitude of stretch bolts, I: Removal Removed the 3 bolts holding the original control arm mount Applied some degreaser to the spigot Attached a ratchet tie down strap connected to the exhaust brace (?) under the centre of the car. Ratcheted the strap tight a couple of turns the constant pressure popped it off. Used a lever to tilt the contro arm down enough to remove the original bracket Fitting The reverse of the above but this time using the front of the control arm as the point to hook the ratchet tie downs to pull the new bush onto the spigot. Took it for a wheel alignment but not required as none of the original alignment bolts had been touched. Hope this helps!

Hi everyone, I could be corrected here but I'm pretty sure that because a swaybar is essentially a torsion bar, the central part of the tube actually does no work at all, with the outside wall twisting. Hence Volkswagens use of a hollow bar is actually the best way to go due to it's lighter weight. Unfortunately, it is harder to source an aftermarket bar made of tube as it costs more to produce.
