For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The APR Roll-Control Rear Sway Bar (SUS00028) is engineered to transform the handling of Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) MQB and MQB Evo vehicles equipped with independent rear suspension. By increasing the bar diameter to 25mm and utilizing a 5mm wall thickness, this sway bar delivers up to a 108% increase in spring rate over factory units. This upgrade significantly reduces body roll and lateral weight transfer during cornering, allowing for more even tire loading and dramatically improved mechanical grip without sacrificing daily driving comfort.
Constructed from high-tensile strength steel, APR sway bars are CNC-bent from a single piece of hollow bar stock to maximize strength while minimizing weight. The bar ends are forged and quench-hardened for maximum durability, eliminating the weak points often found in welded alternatives. Finished in a corrosion-resistant red powder coat and paired with high-performance polyurethane bushings, this system provides a more responsive and balanced chassis for both the street and the track.
Key Features:
- Reduced Body Roll: Significantly improves cornering balance and stability by minimizing vehicle lean during sharp turns.
- High-Performance Construction: 25mm diameter hollow bar made from CNC-bent high-tensile steel for the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio.
- Massive Stiffness Increase: Delivers a 665 lbs/in spring rate—a 108% increase over MK7 GTI and 88% over MK8 GTI factory bars.
- Forged Ends: Bar ends are forge-pressed and heat-treated to achieve maximum strength and long-term reliability.
- Polyurethane Bushings: Includes upgraded bushings to eliminate deflection and ensure immediate suspension response.
- Direct Fitment: Designed as a bolt-on replacement for the factory rear stabilizer bar with no modifications required.
- Durable Finish: Signature APR Red powder coating protects against corrosion while providing a premium look.
