034Motorsport Adjustable Solid Rear Sway Bar Upgrade for Audi A3 FWD & VW Golf/GTI 2015+
$298.80

If you're looking to tighten up the handling on your MkVII Volkswagen Golf or GTI, or the 8V Audi A3 FWD, let me tell you, this 034Motorsport Adjustable Solid Rear Sway Bar is a game changer. Made from a solid piece of 25.4mm thick spring steel, this sway bar is built to last and designed to minimize that pesky understeer while keeping body roll in check during those hard cornering moments.

I've had my hands on this setup, and I can say it’s been thoroughly tested on both the street and the track using 034Motorsport's own 2015 GTI development car, plus a bunch of other enthusiast-owned MQB models. The results? A noticeable reduction in understeer and body roll without sacrificing ride comfort. You can take it to the track or just enjoy a spirited drive on a winding road, and it won’t beat you up.

One of the cool things about this sway bar is that it plays nice with your stock front sway bar. No need to upgrade the front unless you want to tweak the turn-in feel a bit more. But honestly, with the stock front sway bar and this beefy rear upgrade, you'll find that body roll is nearly eliminated. Plus, the off-throttle oversteer feels more controlled—a nice touch if you like to push your car a bit.

Features:

  • 25.4mm Diameter for solid performance
  • Sturdy Spring Steel Construction
  • One-Piece Design for maximum durability
  • 2-Way Adjustable to suit your driving style

What’s Included:

  • 034Motorsport Adjustable Solid Rear Sway Bar
  • Polyurethane Sway Bar Bushings
  • Billet Aluminum Sway Bar Brackets with Integrated Zerk Fittings
  • Installation Hardware Kit

Fitment:

  • Audi A3 FWD (8V - MQB) except A3 eTron 2015+
  • Volkswagen Golf/GTI (MkVII - MQB) 2015+
  • Volkswagen Arteon I 2.0T Gen3 (AWD Only) 2019-2021
  • Volkswagen Arteon I.5 2.0T Gen4 (AWD Only) 2022-2024

Sway Bar Rate Data:

  • 034Motorsport (Soft) - 153% Rate Increase over the factory 20mm rear sway bar
  • 034Motorsport (Stiff) - 174% Rate Increase over the factory 20mm rear sway bar

Note: If you're really looking to maximize performance, consider upgrading to our Spherical MQB Audi A3 & MkVII Volkswagen Golf/GTI Rear Sway Bar End Links. They work in perfect harmony with this sway bar.

For Lowered Vehicles:

If your ride is lowered, just a heads up to check clearances throughout the suspension's full range of motion. You don't want any surprises. I’d recommend pairing this with 034Motorsport suspension components since they’re designed to work together seamlessly.

So, if you're ready to take your driving experience up a notch, this sway bar is definitely worth considering. It’s all about making your car feel more connected and responsive, and this piece does just that.
