For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The APR Front Roll-Control Sway Bar (SUS00029) is a precision-engineered chassis upgrade for FWD MQB and MQB Evo vehicles. By increasing the bar diameter to 28mm with a 4.5mm wall thickness, APR has achieved a massive increase in roll stiffness—up to 114% over the factory MK7 GTI. This upgrade is designed to reduce the excessive body lean associated with spirited driving, ensuring that weight is distributed more evenly across all four tires for maximum grip and stability during aggressive cornering.
Constructed from high-tensile, hollow steel to keep weight at a minimum, each bar is CNC-bent from a single piece of stock to eliminate the weak points found in welded bars. The ends are forged and quench-hardened for superior strength and durability. To ensure consistent performance, the kit includes high-performance polyurethane bushings that eliminate the "mushy" feel and compression found in OEM rubber units. Finished in APR’s signature red powder coat, this bar offers two adjustment points to fine-tune your vehicle's handling characteristics.
Key Features:
- Enhanced Front-End Stability: Significantly reduces body roll, providing a flatter, more confident cornering experience.
- Precision Engineering: 28mm hollow bar design provides maximum stiffness with minimal weight penalty.
- Adjustable Handling: Features two mounting positions to customize the spring rate (333/383 lbs/in) to your driving preference.
- Superior Construction: CNC-bent from a single bar with forge-pressed ends and quench-hardening for maximum durability.
- High-Performance Bushings: Includes greaseable polyurethane bushings to ensure immediate suspension response and zero deflection.
- Durable Finish: Coated in a corrosion-resistant red powder coat for long-lasting protection and a premium look.
- Direct Bolt-On: Engineered as a direct replacement for the factory front sway bar.
