RS2 swaybar bushings upgrade possible?

[Tzummie]

Hi, am taking my swaybars off the RS2, to have them powdercoated. While I'm at it, I thought about what options there are to change the swaybar rubbers/bushings to something "better"? Stiffer version? As that's the only thing I change, would it make any noticeable difference? Any input welcome!
thnx.

RS2 is the stiffest out there AFAIK.

Hmm I thought someone made poly bushes for front roll bar?

I know Neuspeed make some for the rear to go with their RARB

Im pretty sure powerflex make poly bushes for them.

Powerflex make them, think i have the front set in mine but they are going to make no difference at all IMO.

IMHO one of the simplest, cheapest and most EFFECTIVE (& easily reversible) modifications for an RS2 is to stick a Neuspeed 19mm RARB on the car, on it's stiffest setting. It makes an immediate, positive improvement to the car's handling and makes it much more neutral overall. (removes most if not all of the cars tendency to under steer)

thanks for the input! I just heard that the original bushing on the rear costs a whopping € 20 per piece...

You get poly bushes when you upgrade the rear bar from whiteline or h&r

[Lloyd]

And also with neuspeed bar. You also get some beefed up steel mounts.

Same as white line those mounts are essential mrc sell them separately as well

thanks for the info. Currently I run the RS2 suspension completely stock. What would be the first (noticeable) recommended upgrade? The mentioned rear swaybar? I'd like to upgrade the suspension step-by-step (guess the front bushings will need to be replaced someday as well + eventually the shocks). Car is not a daily driver, but needs to be somewhat comfortable, not too sporty. Looking for more precise handling.

[Lloyd]

Yep, get the neuspeed 19mm on there. Follow it up with some Mance Pro-Mounts top mounts. Have a chat to Will @ VRS he will be able to help.

[Tzummie]

what Neuspeed model then, for RS2?

[Lloyd]

You buy the B5 S4 19mm.
