Product Description

The H&R 72819 Front & Rear Sway Bar Kit is a performance suspension upgrade designed for classic Volkswagen vehicles - including Cabriolet, Jetta, Rabbit, and Scirocco models from roughly 1980 through 1993. These solid 22 mm front and 26 mm rear sway bars significantly increase roll resistance compared with stock, helping to dramatically improve cornering control, lateral stability, and overall handling precision while preserving everyday ride comfort.

Constructed from high-strength 50CrV4 steel that is cold-formed, heat-treated, and shot-peened, this H&R sport sway bar kit delivers durable performance with proprietary urethane/Teflon composite bushings that resist squeaks and require no lubrication. The direct fit, non-adjustable bars bolt into the factory mounting points for a straightforward installation. This kit is ideal for enthusiasts who want a balanced handling upgrade on vintage VW platforms without lowering ride height. A post-installation alignment is recommended to maximize handling gains.
