Careful ask if it is only the miniscule 15.9mm rear t bar instead of the desirable 20mm active bar?

If the front bar came from a car with either rear bar it is the disirable 28mm instead on the conventional 29mm.

It takes the 28mm front and the 15.9mm rear in combination to shift the roll couple ratio : 6.5% off the front and add 10% roll stiffness to the rear........totalling 16.5%/~~2= 8% change vs 19.5% with the stiffer 20 mm rear bar and softer front bar.

Got a question?

Did the 93 Q's and later come with rear sway bars and the 92 and earlier did not? I seem to remember reading past threads but can't find them now. I'm not very knowledgeble in this area.

You are all set....the "a" model came with all the sway bars...both front & rear. It was the base model that did not have the rear bars.

NO.. Its a bummer, since I doint have $60... I checked it and it was at $40, and I bid 60 and was outbid... It was at 3 hours left, and didnt have time to contact anyone to buy it for me... I tried Jesda, but he was poor! :(

FWIW if he bid 75 I figure its worth the extra $25 to get it from joe (only $100)
