Rear sway bar upgrade is a huge improvement in cornering

Reccomendation?

B5 likes a lot of rear sway bar. So any of the 25mm rear bars are a good match for sport springs. Popular items are 034 motorsport, Hotchkis, H&R, etc.

Example, 034 Motorsport Rear bar:

However, the rear subframe area where the sway bar bolts onto the car is relatively weak and not well supported on the B5. So it is highly recommended to add a bolt-in support bracket (or weld in such a support out of steel yourself). Without this you can crack the sway bar mounting area right off the subframe.

I'm not familiar with any retailers in Europe. Hopefully somebody across the pond can chime in with some suggestions.

Guys, hes FWD. AFAIK the only rear sway bar upgrade over the beam stock was the sway bar made by Neuspeed but its NLA anymore.
Honestly there is not much you can do, buff up the rear springs with rubber/poly inserts, polybush the whole car and thats it. Quattro is much better.

Ooh nice catch. Totally missed that it was FWD.

I would polybush the car but idk the dimension of bushes,whole set is like 250 euros which is not too much if car would be stiffer
