MP3 rear sway bar for P5
#16
fpa1974: Let me know if you have "installation issues" with your 19MM like I did. Tony insists it mounts "tabs down," but I tried every way from Sunday to make it work without rear lateral link interference, (tabs down, tabs up, below the lateral links, above, and every combination possible) all to no avail. I ended up cutting the ends off right behind the "stiff" setting tab hole, and had to take about 1/2" of the tab behind the bolt hole too just for clearance. With that settled, I also learned that "tabs down" the AWR end links don't pivot enough for those angles(especially at the sway bar), so "tabs up" it went. Ball joints line up perfect, no interference throughout suspension travel range. Just a heads up.

My P5 is my daily driver and I have tried to keep it as stock as possible (knowing myself quite well and trying to avoid going down the mods route on this car too ) I will have to autoX it though for the rest of the season since my dedicated car for that purpose suffered a small mishap.
