ACTIVE: SRS Rear Sway Bar

Hey everyone I talk to Jim SRS and he aggreed to do another group by for the passat. The price will be $300 (normal $389). We will need 40 for this group buy to work. From what I have heard this is the best rear sway bar on the market, maybe some other will join in and tell you more about it. After you sign up I will contact you throught a PM to get you name, address and phone number then i will email the list to Jim and he will call you to confirm and it will be shipped ASAP.

ok i put you on the list to show intrest
I'd be interested
just PM me with your name address and phone number so Jim and talk to you and remember the orders don't get placed until there are 40 maybe it will work if we are a couple short but lets shoot for 40
I'll tell you these things are amazing. The effect on the car is fantastic.
Oh and the build quality is amazing, was almost a shame to put it under the car :p
Oh and if you have a V6, tell SRS you want thier v6 real street suspenion and then buy it when it comes out. It will be amazing and I think they need some ressurance that people will buy them.
nm+ thanks for the positive feed back maybe it will inspire some people to join the GB
come on guys it is a good deal for a top of the line rear sway
Dont really wana be a party pooper, but come on, $300 for this bar is daym expensive IMHO. dont forget that you will have to find a shop to have this install. that's at less another $100 . Your total for this mod would be 400+.
I would suggest anyone of you 2 go with Neuspeed, since it's about the same cost for it to shipped to your house, plus it's much much easier for the installation. Go via Neuspeed will save you money, plus you will not need to have your car drilled to fit the rear sway.
The neuspeed bar is also not as good.
Adds unsprung weight, not as well designed for the car and lower build quality.
The shine bar is TIG-welded cro-mo then powder coated.
And 100 for install? Took my local shop 30min, they just need to have the right tools.
The shine is simply more bar than the neuspeed.
It's all depends on what shop do you go to. believe me or not, some shop would rip you for 100+, so be prepared for that.

usally you would take you car to a vw or audi indy shop. I know i don't let anyone do work on my car other then the people i know that do great work. I am sure if you asked around your area "who is good doing suspension work" someone could have a good recomondation, i usally don't run into that prob though due to the area i live and there are alot of specialized shops that do just certain work on cars for less

Heck, you live in MA. Give a call to shine and ask what they would install it for.
Oh and the neuspeed bar is $389.
If this GB is like the last one, $300 includes shipping.
With $100 install, if they charge that much, the diff is a whopping $10
Oh and the key is to find a shop with air tools. For an electric drill, the beam is hard work, for air tools, with a long enough, hard enough, drill bit its quick work
Shine themselves charged $100 for the installation. Seriously I REALLY did ask[if you don't believe me, you could call them pretending you are a local buyer, tell them that you want to get a passat rear sway, and ask them how much do they charge for the installation]. because I was going to get one for myself. btw, the Neuspeed rear sway is about 270 shipped HERE

I know that I shouldn't be posting stuff like this in your GB. It's doubtful that the Neuspeed's sway bars are made via low quality, since majority of Passat people are using it, and I hardly see anyone complainting about the quality. C ya.

No, you shouldn't.
FWIW, the neuspeed bar is mild steel.
SRSVW is cro-mo. Better rust resistance, better ability to dial in just how much flex you want, and the ability to build lighter with the same strength and flex qualitys.
Also, the SRSVW adds no unsprung weight, while the neuspeed wll due to how it is mounted.
Put me down for One.....
pm me your info
Big Price Jump

3months earlier it was $200. with 10 in the GB.
